Danielle Ahrens, who drove all the way from from home in Sandpoint, joins about 50 protestors in demonstrating against the Idaho health insurance exchanged endorsed by Gov. Otter on the Statehouse steps on Thursday afternoon. “We need to stand up on our own as a sovereign state and say no to Obamacare,” she said. Otter said Tuesday a state-built health insurance exchange is the best option for Iaho under the federal government’s health care overhaul, but left the final decision up to lawmakers who return to Boise in January.
