Disclaimer Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 This piques my interests.Rightly or wrongly, I have a feeling this will end up in SCOTUS.Maybe it's Idaho's bid to attract more Christian Republicans to their tax base? Who knows? What are Idaho's bankruptcy laws? I wonder how many will flock there because they don't want insurance? And of those, how many are "healthy" and how many have pre-existing conditions or are on recurring meds?This is quite the showdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Maybe it's Idaho's bid to attract more Christian Republicans to their tax base? Who knows? It already has the second highest population of Mormons in the country, it doesn't need to be worse. It's a state I once called home and would hate to see it ruined even more.
