Crawford: State cuts off its nose to spite its face
Placeholder Image
I was taught at a young age that you shouldn’t cut off your nose to spite your face. In other words, don’t engage in destructive action just because you’re angry at someone, because you usually end up hurting yourself more than the other person. I wish our elected leadership had remembered that lesson during their consideration of whether the state should accept billions of dollars from the federal government to expand the Medicaid health insurance program and make coverage available to more low-income families.
