#  Medicaid Expansion is Like a Three-Year-Old Doing Your Grocery Shopping

 

*by Guest Comment Submission*

Having the Revenue Committee introduce a Medicaid Expansion bill into the legislature is like having your three-year-old do your grocery shopping. It's all ice cream, popsicles, and candy.

Only to make the metaphor more accurate, your three-year-old goes out and finds fifty more toddlers who then spend all of your grocery budget on candy, leaving you broke and unhealthy. And the other 50 three-year-olds move in and never leave or stop demanding candy.

So, in honor of their vote to pass a Medicaid Expansion Bill, the Revenue Committee will be accurately re-named the Uncontrolled Spending Committee.

 Once again, the name of a government entity is the opposite of what it was built to do.
