Senate Backs Exchange 23-12

After more than three hours of debate, the Senate has voted 23-12 in favor of HB 248, Gov. Butch Otter’s state health insurance exchange bill. That’s the exact same vote split as on the earlier version of the bill, SB 1042, on Feb. 21; no senators changed their votes. The House-passed bill now heads to the governor’s desk/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.

Question: Do you expect the dissenters to give up and go away?
