SPR's Doug Nadvornick reports. As Idaho’s legislature moves to the end of its session, lawmakers have said yes to a new Medicaid budget and then no to money for more Covid testing in schools. Rep. Paul Amador [R-Coeur d'Alene] stuck his tongue in his cheek when introduced the state’s proposed $3.7 billion Medicaid budget. “This is everybody’s favorite budget so I’m privileged to carry it today," he said. Medicaid is the state medical program for people with lower incomes. Amador acknowledged it’s a lot of money. “I think all of us are probably frustrated with out-of-control spending related to Medicaid and that primarily is based upon enrollment growth and policies that have been adopted by the state and by the federal government related to Medicaid," Amador said.
