IFF: Medicaid Expansion Is Bad Idea
Wayne Hoffman/Idaho Freedom Foundation columnizes: "Imagine an 8-ounce glass of water on a kitchen counter. The glass is almost full. I could, as a matter of public policy, declare that the glass should hold 16 ounces of water. But my declaration won’t make the glass larger. It certainly won’t make the water tastier. And if I do decide to pour more water into the glass, the overage, unsurprisingly, would spill onto the floor. Similarly, expanding Medicaid won’t mean Idaho will miraculously have more doctors, more nurses, more practitioners of any kind. It won’t cure disease. It won’t even stop your runny nose." More here.
