This Is a Test

Before following the link, read the quote that follows, and decide whether we've made it up or not. Got it? OK. Here goes:
Rep. Mark Larson, R-Cortez, attempted to amend the budget so that state money is not spent on circumcisions for children of poor people.

Larson figures that the state could have saved $273,000 next year if the state eliminated the "cosmetic surgery of circumcision" as a covered Medicaid benefit.

Opponents said the measure was unfair to the poor.
And here's your LINK.

The opponents to Larson's amendment were the greedy doctors who profit from this insane practice. The "unfair to the poor" argument was just a convenient excuse.
