NULLIFICATION: It will only cost more

| February 16, 2011 9:00 PM

It appears that our governor and other members of his party are determined to nullify the new national health-care law that will save billions in taxpayer dollars in the long run. It seems that one of the major sticking points is the requirement for people to buy health insurance. I assume Mr. Otter will also soon sponsor legislation to remove from Idaho law the requirement that users of public roads buy liability insurance or post a large bond. Just imagine all the crash damage the taxpayers will have to pay for when the affected parties can't cover it!

Happy motoring. Watch out for the other guy. If he crashes into you and isn't insured you will foot the bill, and if he requires hospitalization from injury or sickness you, along with the rest of us, may have to pay for that too.
