Idaho lawmakers are considering a significant change to how ballot initiatives are passed. A new bill proposes raising the voter approval threshold for initiatives from a simple majority (50% +1) to 60%. This move mirrors a similar change made in Florida and would make it much harder for citizen-driven measures to succeed. Critics argue that this shift could limit direct democracy by placing more power in the hands of legislators instead of voters. What are your thoughts? Should states make it harder for voters to pass initiatives, or does this undermine the democratic process?

Idaho lawmakers are considering repealing Medicaid expansion in 2025, a move that would have serious consequences for thousands of Idahoans who rely on this critical healthcare program. Medicaid expansion has been a lifeline for many families, offering affordable healthcare and helping to reduce the number of uninsured residents across the state. Why we must protect Medicaid expansion: • Access to healthcare for 90,000+ Idahoans: More than 90,000 people currently benefit from Medicaid expansion in Idaho—repealing this would put their health at risk. • Reduces uninsured rates: Without Medicaid, more Idahoans will go without healthcare, driving up emergency care costs. • Supports local healthcare providers: Many hospitals, especially in rural areas, depend on Medicaid funding to stay afloat. Without it, these providers may struggle financially. • Lower overall healthcare costs: Expanding Medicaid has been proven to reduce the number of people relying on expensive emergency care, which ultimately lowers costs for taxpayers. This isn’t just a policy debate—it’s a matter of ensuring Idahoans can access the healthcare they need. Now is the time to raise our voices in support of Medicaid expansion and demand that lawmakers protect the health of our state.
