Not Spurious News: Idaho Legislature rejects bill that could have banned healthcare in the state! [View all]

The bill in question: https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2026/legislation/H0808.pdf

Here's the paragraph in question:
(2) "Medical intervention" means a medical procedure, treatment, device, drug, injection, vaccine, immunization, medication, or medical action taken to diagnose, prevent, or cure a disease or alter the health or biological function of a person.

This bill says in one long stretch of legislative garbage that no entity in Idaho can refuse to do business with you if you have or haven't had a medical intervention.

This means, among other things...

1. A restaurant can't keep you out just because you have typhoid.
2. A school can't tell you to get rid of your child's lice.
3. A brothel can't refuse to let you have unprotected sex with their employees just because you have syphilis.

This bill is bad enough that even Republicans are saying "now wait a damn minute!"
