MEDICAID: Let's hear from experts

The meeting last week at the Post Falls Senior Center about Medicaid was supposed to be informative, I thought, and I was sorry I missed it. But then I read the description of the meeting in The Press. Sounds like fears took the place of facts. Like the statement of Tony Wisnievski that it would bankrupt us. So I looked on the internet for facts and found: https://www.healthinsurance.org/idaho-medicaid/

The article was lengthy and maybe hard to get through. But it was factual and gave the history of the legislative consideration of the matter of expanding Medicaid in Idaho. Many of the economical options were given. Seems to me this would have been an excellent basis for discussion. But perhaps there are better. It would be great if some experts in the field of health care led such a discussion.
