“First, the truly needy already qualify for Medicaid in Idaho.”
I’m pretty sure there are uninsured sick people in Idaho that don’t qualify for Medicaid and can’t buy or afford to use a Crony Capitalist Care (PPACA) plan.
Yes, I have no doubt there are uninsured sick people in Idaho that don’t qualify for Medicaid. But this idea that it’s the federal gov’t’s job, or even the state’s job, to provide such assistance is ridiculous. Health care is not a right. And bankrupting the state trying to pay for everyone’s care is hardly a rational exercise in good gov’t.
Gov’t needs to GET OUT of health care.
