    Spokaners do not drive across the border into Coeur d’Alene for cheaper groceries or a half-price Big Mac.

    I actively boycott any and all ID businesses, because of the state’s shitty labor and reproductive-rights laws and its nurture of Christofascism. They can Gilead all they want but it won’t be with my financial support.

      They just come into WA for the medical center and clog up the system. ID residents should be banned from receiving medical care in WA.

        But I think accelerationist policies often hurt vulnerable people…

            And what, die? I think keeping people alive and preventing unnecessary deaths should be the priority first and foremost. Idaho should be made to improve their healthcare infrastructure, and then we can force them to stay in their state.

            But as of right now, the idea of turning someone down at the hospital because their ID says a different state does not sit well with me.

                So… Nobody should work across state lines… In the “United” states… Doesn’t sound very United.

                    If people work across state lines, or travel at all, they need hospital services. You didn’t say it, but a moment of thought would have revealed the implications.
