Miller letter: 8 myths

The Idaho Statesman clearly has its agendas. Witness Bill Dentzer’s 8 myths about covering the uninsured in Idaho in the July 9 Depth section. This is simply the latest installment from the Statesman on this particular topic. Another recent favorite on the Statesman’s plate has been the so-called Housing First initiative. In reading the Statesman on a regular basis one might conclude that we are but a few entitlements and regulations short of achieving social utopia. But I promise you, Idaho, people of this ilk will always want more.

As for Dentzer’s 8 myths, consider Jonathan Gruber’s assessment of the American voter in explaining how Obamacare passed before you buy in.
