Medicaid bill testimony likely to finish today

House Health & Welfare Chairwoman Janice McGeachin, R-Idaho Falls, just said she thinks if she keeps going - though it’s nearly 6 p.m. Boise time - she can get through the entire list of those who have signed up to testify. Many of those being called now have left. So far, 69 people have testified, all but two of them in opposition to HB 221, the Medicaid cuts bill. The hearing has stretched for four and a half hours so far. There are only eight names left to go on the signup list, some of whom may have left.
