The following comment is from NoisyRoom contributor Roger Doxaras, in response to this article which is well worth the read: Ed Haislmaier Explains Why States Should Resist Obamacare.

Roger:

Idaho lawmakers must first acknowledge their dependency on federal funding, and with each acceptance of federal funding our lawmakers must recognize that they are directly sanctioning the systematic loss of our Constitutional protections.

It is vital that all Idaho Representatives immediately acknowledge the fundamental risks of accepting Obama Care exchanges, this programs expansion of Medicaid will lead to greater long-term costs, and permit no flexibility for Idaho’s existing Medicaid program. Essentially our lawmakers will be fulfilling this administration’s over reaching goal, creating this states fundamental need for ever-increasing federal dependence.
