IFF: No need to cover Medicaid gap

Idaho lawmakers are hell-bent on passing something — frankly, anything — to cover the so-called “gap population” of people who don’t qualify for Medicaid or Obamacare insurance subsidies. They forget, or pretend not to know, that politicians just like them got us where we are today. The House Health and Welfare Committee previewed its Big Government health-care thinking Thursday. Committee members promised to move deliberately toward support of some legislation, whatever that may be, on Monday. Rep. Kelley Packer, R-McCammon, preached to her colleagues that “we have a responsibility as a Legislature to find a solution” for people who aren’t already enrolled in a government program. Said Packer, “I do not want to go home without doing something, without voting on something … for this population”/ Wayne Hoffman , Idaho Freedom Foundation. More here.
