The widow of Coeur d’Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore is urging Idaho lawmakers not to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a “comparable replacement,” saying the law enabled her to spend more time with her toddler daughter in the aftermath of Moore’s 2015 murder.

As congressional Republicans mount a contentious effort to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s signature health care law, Lindy Moore wrote an open letter to Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador and Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch.

“I wrote it just to be a voice for other women, specifically widows, across the country who may be losing their health insurance,” Moore said in an interview/Chad Sokol, SR. More here.
