Everyone talks about reducing health care costs, but it never seems to happen. Each year we see higher medical costs, higher insurance premiums and higher deductibles, and there is no end in sight. We continually talk about expanding Medicaid in Idaho because of the 78,000 people who are caught in a gap that excludes them […]
As strong of a conservative that Rep. Nonini is he has made a major mistake in thinking that he needs an alliance with one of the worst voting senators in the legislature Shawn Keough. Why is it that only the conservatives that are willing to bend to the will of the establishment and not the […]
Thanks Governor Otter for Proving Our Point It appears that our lame duck Governor and his wife, along with 3 district 21 legislators have decided to weigh in on the West Ada School District recall, but we don’t recollect seeing any of them at the West Ada Board meetings in the last four months which […]
Tina Dean was elected by the voters to represent zone 1 of the West Ada School District.
PLEASE SHARE THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE Why did the Meridian Chamber of Commerce decide in their ultimate wisdom that they should wade in on the recall issue of the West Ada School District? Our question is why is a business organization getting involved in a school board recall? It all comes down to money, power and […]
Why is a highly successful Doctor like Jason West willing to give up 3 months a year of his practice to be a Representative for District 28 in Idaho? Listen to his story and you will see why this man is willing to become a citizen legislator.
I’m very disappointed with the Governor’s decision to veto the use of bibles as a reference book in our schools. Ever since the 1962/63 decision by the Supreme Court we have seen a spiritually significant event in our country’s history and a slow but steady change in our children’s attitudes in our public schools. We […]
The Gem State Patriot Proudly Endorses Dr. Jason West as he Announces his Candidacy for Representative of Dist. 28 seat B. This past week we were fortunate enough to interview a true citizen legislator, Dr. Jason West of Pocatello. Dr. West runs an Integrative Medical Clinic in Pocatello going back 100 years and follows in […]
Rep. Kelley Packer of Legislative District 28 sent a formal letter to the Health and Welfare Committee pledging to vote against any funding that comes before the panel until a waiver program for medical gap coverage is presented to the full house for a vote. Once again Rep. Packer has shown that she is not […]
Most people don’t understand how big the corporate lobbyists footprint is because all of the deals are made in the back rooms and are never exposed to the light of day. We have become so naïve as a voting public that we believe just about anything the politicians tell us because the establishment media is […]
It was only two short years ago that Governor Otter and our crony legislators paid back their campaign contributors by voting for a State Health Care Exchange. Let us remind you of the Board Members of IACI who benefited from the state exchange. Mountain View Hospital, Saint Alphonso’s Health System, Saint Luke’s Health System. Blue […]
Dear Legislator: I’m not sure how bill S1231 came into existence, but I’m sure it had nothing to do with the modernizing of language as stated in you statement of purpose. This is an out and out retraction of services that have been allowed by Chiropractic physicians for many years, and it makes us wonder […]
