The Senate will vote today on proceeding to decide if they will vote on repealing Obamacare or repealing and replacing Obamacare. Either way, they need to get off dead center as we have waited a long time to fix our health care system and get things back to some normalcy where it doesn’t cost more […]
Zollinger’s comments on the grocery tax and election were spot on. The real shame in Idaho politics was allowing Governor Otter to win a third term. He is and always will be a crony establishment politician. He takes care of the lobbyists and those that keep him and the rest of the establishment in office. […]
We were doing a little more homework on Mr. Ahlquist and read an article written by Kevin Richert in Idaho Education News. After reading the article and listening to a one-hour interview with Mr. Ahlquist, we once again need to question Mr. Ahlquist about his platform on Common Core. In June, the Associated Press’ Kimberlee […]
We’re spending a lot of time talking about the cost of healthcare these days, so I was a bit shocked yesterday when I received a bill for my wife’s emergency room treatment at St. Luke’s Hospital in Meridian back in November of 2016. This is where much of our problem lies—in the transparency of costs. […]
When we first received this letter in our inbox, my first reaction was shock and awe, but then I remembered it was sent out before Tommy Ahlquist had made up his mind which party to run for. The fact that Mr. Ahlquist had to decide which party to run for is in itself very disturbing […]
With all of the fake news that has been out there in liberal media world, the public has become very aware of the bias that has been running wild in just about every liberal newspaper, TV and radio show you can think of, and the Idaho Statesman is no different. The Statesman is owned by […]
A New Direction for Idaho? Maybe. We had an opportunity this past Friday to meet with Tom Ahlquist’s campaign manager David Johnson to discuss some of his candidate’s positions. I have to admit I was impressed that he had any number of decent answers to our questions, although without much detail. The broad strokes looked […]
Not Perfect but a Good Start What’s staying the same is the government-managed individual insurance market exchanges will continue, as will the subsidies for people based on income, age, and where they live. For another two years, Washington will continue to pay insurance companies to cover the out-of-pocket costs incurred by lower-income policyholders. Currently, individuals […]
Skeptics prevail We realize there is an enormous amount of skepticism out there on the validity of using medical marijuana, but the more research that is done, the more we have to respect the findings of the researchers. Most people don’t realize that what we call marijuana or Cannabis Sativa dates back 10,000 years and […]
The Bad The Good & The Ugly: The Bad news Russell Fulcher, the only true conservative candidate in the race for governor, has decided to discontinue his run. The Good news is that he has decided to run for Congressman for the first congressional district. The Ugly – We understand from reputable sources that our […]
(Click to play) Monday, I spoke with Raul Labrador on the Kevin Miller Show 580KIDO and asked him point blank why he didn’t endorse Russ Fulcher until the last week before the primary election in 2014. Unfortunately, I never got a straight answer even after telling him he did not give me an answer to […]
Idaho is a state of great beauty that has huge natural resources and plenty of clean air and water (except during our fire season.) What we don’t have is a way to help 20% of Idaho’s citizens get access to adequate healthcare services and incentives to keep themselves healthy once they are well. For those […]
