Letter: Beer is more important than health care? Really?
(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Signs in the beer aisle at a Smith's Food & Drug store encourage consumers to join the Responsible Beer Choice Coalition.
So, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came out in opposition to higher alcohol beer in grocery stores. The leaders see this as a “moral issue.”
On expansion of Medicaid, we only hear silence.
So, more alcohol in beer is a more important and higher moral issue than providing health care and insurance to those neighbors who really need it? Really?
