HEALTH CARE: Say no to OtterCare

| November 8, 2013 8:00 PM

“Politicians, bureaucrats, and judges in all branches of government are using law to accomplish incrementally the very ends our form of government was created to prevent.” — Gov. Butch Otter

Governor these are your words but your actions walk a different walk. Idahoans are overwhelmingly opposed to ObamaCare. Public opposition and testimony in the Capitol last session easily ran 3 to 1 against, however corporate interest and their lobbying dollars won the day and Idahoans lost and now you are offended by the word cronyism.

The only people who are going to be climbing are our children and grandchildren to conquer this mountain of debt the federal government has handed them.

Governor you acquiesced; you gave us OtterCare. Idahoans do not need a mountain climber we need a fighter. I choose to fight.
