In the nearly 3 hours of public testimony, only 2 people testified in favor of H419, the #MedicaidExpansion repeal bill: A representative from Idaho Freedom Foundation & one other person. Thankfully H419 failed. Idahoans favor Medicaid Expansion by a whopping 73%. #idpol
@SamSandmire @reclaimID A very unfortunate economic event for Idaho. It takes some critical and long-term thinking to look where this will eventually lead the citizens of Idaho; a sorely missing element from today’s activists.
@SamSandmire @reclaimID So what you are saying is that 73% of Idahoans prefer to be on the tit of state government funding at the expense of hard working Idahoans- who believe that smaller more fiscally responsible government is preferred - Yea that’s a stretch !
@SamSandmire @reclaimID We have a majority of takers and some outright fraudsters in Idaho.
@SamSandmire @reclaimID Yay! Thank you everyone for making sure that those in Idaho who can't afford insurance still can get the medical care they need.
@SamSandmire @reclaimID A lot of my elderly friends only survive because of Medicaid. And same for disabled folks I know. The freakish stinginess of people who don't want to accept federal funding to save lives is bizarre.
@SamSandmire @abbottalynn @reclaimID I was born here and I say abolish Medicaid! It’s robbery. It’s corruption.
