Today, Gov. Brad Little vetoed Senate Bill 1023, the Medical Freedom Act. The act would not only have ensured that Idahoans maintain autonomy over their healthcare decisions, free from government or corporate overreach, and enshrined vital medical rights, but would also have prohibited vaccine mandates from ever occurring again. This bill garnered significant support among advocates of personal liberty.
In response, Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) and Idaho Freedom Action (IFA) President Ronald M. Nate had this to say:
“Governor Little shows, once again, how out of touch he is with Idaho families. After kowtowing to Big Medical special interests during the COVID pandemic, we are not particularly surprised by his decision. However, we at the IFF and IFA know Idaho should be a beacon for freedom in all parts of our lives, including and especially medical freedom. It’s clear our governor does not share our state’s values, only the values of the highest bidder.”
President Nate concluded with a call to action:
“It’s time for the Legislature to stand up against medical tyranny and do what’s right for the people of Idaho: OVERRIDE LITTLE’S VETO!!”
