Luke Mayville, co-founder of Reclaim Idaho is taking his green Medicaid Mobile the entire length of the state of Idaho. His goal, spread awareness about the 78,000 Idaho residents he says fall into the Medicaid gap--earning enough to not qualify for Medicaid, but not making enough to make healthcare affordable.

His approach, disconnecting from any single political party when discussing healthcare.

In Coeur d'Alene he was greated to a crowd of several dozen activists and passerby's interested to learn more about Medicaid in Idaho.

"I'm here for Idaho," said Della Munnich. "I'm here for healthcare for Idaho"/Hawk Hammer, KREM 2. More here.
