Blowing off Obamacare — Idaho shows how

Via Billy

Idaho Gov. C.L.

Congressional Republicans failed to repeal or replace Obamacare. But one state has come up with a way to get around it. Idaho is dealing with Obamacare by just blowing it off. If it works, other states seem likely to follow.

Idaho’s Republican governor, Butch Otter, signed an executive order last year paving the way for non-Obamacare-compliant health insurance plans to be sold in his state, and Lt. Gov. Brad Little has since cobbled together what is sure to be the nation’s most controversial healthcare initiative. Their principal intention is to give the people of their state a way of avoiding Obamacare’s monstrous increases in insurance premiums. They want to put affordable insurance plans on the market again.

  1. I find no problem with the effort but once government can mandate you purchase one product it is just a matter of time before than mandate others. All they need is Chief Justice Roberts to rewrite the law according to his whim and declare it 'law.'

    Y'all have a nice day.

  2. Dare we say Idaho has become a 'sanctuary state'...

    ...for resisting 'bozocare'?
