Gov. Otter Signs Health Freedom Act

Wednesday afternoon, Governor Otter signed the Health Freedom Act that directs the attorney general to take the Federal government to court if nationalized health care passes.

One of the questions from a reporter asked is if it isn't hypocritical to try to get the F-35 fighter jet to be based in Idaho while rejecting Federal health care.

The Governor did a great job answering the question. I would like to add a thought.

National defense is a Federal responsibility while health care is a state and personal responsibility. The Federal budget is borrowing 42 cents of every dollar it spends and 63 percent of the Federal budget is for human services. If human services were transferred back to the states, these services could be delivered at 30 percent less cost simply because of the inefficiencies inherent in Federal programs.
