Trib: Idaho representatives don’t

In a weekend editorial, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune comments:

Like the people who rallied in Moscow Thursday, you may harbor an expectation that your elected representatives in Washington, D.C., should come home and listen to you.

You may want to ask Congressman Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, about what repealing Obamacare would do to a state where one in five people lacked health insurance before that act became law. Now it’s down to at least 11 percent - and that’s in spite of the Idaho Legislature’s refusal to extend Medicaid coverage to another 87,000 low-income adults.
