Moms with young children packed Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo’s Boise office on Thursday, sharing their health care stories along with milk and cookies and urging Crapo to oppose the GOP health care bill now under consideration in the Senate. The “mom-in” was intended to lobby Crapo, a cancer survivor, against the plan, which has been struggling to gain critical mass among Senate Republicans.

Recent figures from a report by the Urban Institute and cited by Idaho Voices for Children predict that under the Senate plan, 107,000 Idahoans will lose health coverage over the next five years, 30,000 of them children /Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
