Barbieri Seeks To Block Obamacare

Republican Reps. Judy Boyle, of Midvale, and Rep. Vito Barbieri, of Dalton Gardens, will be the House co-sponsors of a bill aimed at nullifying federal health care reform in Idaho. I wrote about this issue in Thursday's Idaho Statesman. The bill will start in the House State Affairs Committee on Monday, said Barbieri, an attorney in his first term from Kootenai County. The Idaho bill will not include jail time or fines. Texas' bill includes jail time and fines for federal or state officials who try to enact provisions of the Affordable Care Act/Brian Murphy, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: What do support the attempt by Reps. Boyle and Barbieri to block implementation of federal health care reform in the state of Idaho?
