The little blurb below is just one of many, many reasons why the citizens of our state need to clean house from the U.S. Senate and House to the governor's office, to the state legislature. These "elected" officials are corrupt, self-serving, nincompoops who hold the citizens of this state in great contempt while milking the working class so that their special interest buddies continue to reap the benefits. How many years are we going to tolerate this sort of behavior? It has driven Idaho to the bottom of the heap, often behind Mississippi and Alabama in eduction, wages, infrastructure, and social supports.

    

54,780 Idaho residents are being denied health care coverage because Idaho Governor Butch Otter is refusing to expand Medicaid. 
Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter has been sitting on his hands, making one 
excuse after another to deny Idaho's most vulnerable residents health 
care. He's letting Idaho residents suffer, while he pushes his partisan agenda.1
It's hard to fathom why he is doing this—except out of spite—since expanding Medicaid would be a huge bargain
for Idaho (100% of the costs would be borne by the federal government through 2016, and 90% 
thereafter), and 54,780 residents would 
benefit, according to an estimate from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
