This is what we are headed for. Lib states and cities (God forbid, country) are broke. They are reaching for straws to control the out of control Medicaid and Medicare expenses that they promised.

If you can’t cut spending, you can try to socially engineer a behavior modification program to reduce your costs.

It won’t work. They will still be broke, but they are desperate. Socialism doesn’t work. The USSR banned Vodka in 1996 towards the end too.
