, meanwhile, concluded that “expansion states did not experience any significant increase in state-funded expenditures, and there is no evidence that expansion crowded out funding for other state priorities.”
“It angers me because I feel like, well, I voted for this — most of us in Idaho did,” she said. “It’s really sad to know that your vote is supposed to count, and your voice is supposed to count. But at the end of the day, it might not.”After waiting for years for the Legislature to come to some consensus on Medicaid expansion, voters here took matters into their own hands.
But many of the Republicans who are skeptical of the cost have also said the campaigns were misleading and maintain Idaho’s $18 million catastrophic health care fund as well as the counties’ indigent care fund were sufficient to defray the costs of people who went to the emergency room for life-or-death care.
But other Republicans said that for those 15,000, it’s a difference without much distinction. Those individuals are being provided federal dollars through a tax credit to buy that insurance, and Medicaid is federal dollars spent more effectively.
Then vote.
They should stop voting for it then. They made their bed now they get to lay in it. They aren’t the only people being crushed by trump and his corrupt GOP but they sure helped put people on these positions by voting for it.
And yet they’ll vote republican, just as they have in every Presidential election since WW2 (except ‘64). Good job Idaho.
These Idahoans had better know who to vote for this fall. Let’s stop demonizing affordable healthcare. No one deserves to go into bankruptcy for a medical procedure.
Celebrate is a bit much.
For some health care is 'free'. Maria expects to deliver her second child this month in Mount Carmel West hospital. As they did two years ago, taxpayers will cover whatever Maria can't (or won't )pay Though Maria's husband works full time in a factory (illegally)
thoughtsandprayers...I’m sure the republican way will make her feel better and less bankrupt.
She better hope Don doesn't succeed to cutting protections for pre existing conditions
The future of Medicare for all. AHA was the test AND warning. 'When it became time to pay, the government pointed to appropriations riders,' which lawmakers USED TO LIMIT FUNDS paid out.' You'll bring home 5% of your pay, & be called middle-class.
You could try cutting the carbs out of your diet..... My aunt lived insulin free for 35 years after being diagnosed with diabetes by changing her diet. You can't claim to care so much and then do absolutely nothing on your own to improve your health.
Trump wants to get rid of Medicaid in his 2nd term!! He must not be re-elected !! Our elderly need help!!
America is just special this way. There is no money in making people well.
This should not be happening.

Why bring this back up. We went through this a couple of days ago. The problem in Idaho is they keep electing tRumpublicans who will screw you into next year.
Trump supporter, sad.
Working poor facing crushing medical debt is the goal of the Trump GOP !
The working citizen poor do deserve help. We should not be spending down the safety net on un-invited illegals.
Sure they do, Trump, Mulvaney and Munchin can't wait to cut middle Americas threats on basic healthcare and wellness.
obamacare has reduced the number of ppl covered How, exactly, does expanding it lower costs? Does it make training a doctor easier?
I know what you are going thru concerning you fight to stay alive. My husband and I went through hell while we fought his prostate cancer. When we are fighting to live we find out politicians decides who lives and died
So its the state fault.
Embrace God and Christ and Heaven I hear it’s paradise there
Take away the health care of all elected officials and then see how quick things will change!
She should send $10 a month and say that's all she can afford. Bastards don't need her lousy $19,000 .
The “gap” isn’t between obamacare and medicaid. The “gap” is between red states and blue states who decided to expand Medicaid. Shitty reporting NBC.
He my neck has been completely destroyed for 37 years. I'm almost dead and I can get a Dr. App or decent meds.
Start selling drugs it is quick and easy money. If that does not work sell your who-ha.
