[Idaho state Sen. Sheryl] Nuxoll posted her comments on Twitter, as well as included them in an email blast to 120 supporters:

"The insurance companies are creating their own tombs. Much like the Jews boarding the trains to concentration camps, private insurers are used by the feds to put the system in place because the federal government has no way to set up the exchange. Based on legislation and the general process that is written toward this legislation, the federal government will want nothing to do with private insurance companies. The feds will have a national system of health insurance and they will eliminate the insurance companies."

When the Idaho Spokesman-Review asked Nuxoll to clarify her comments, she doubled down on them.
