RALEIGH â Too many North Carolinians lack access to the medical services they need. One possible response, as we have heard incessantly for more than a decade, would be to expand Medicaid under the terms of the Affordable Health Act, with most of the expense to be borne by the (already heavily indebted) federal government.
Itâs hardly the only possible response, however. Through its own regulations, North Carolina restricts the availability of medical services and, as a result, inflates the cost of those services. Rather than looking for ways to redistribute that inflated cost to taxpayers, state policymakers should try deflating it.

Cadbury has teamed up with Goose Island Brewery to create an altogether unlikely combination: a beer that has been concocted especially to taste like the confectionary brand’s beloved Creme Egg.

The limited-edition beer, which has been named the ‘Golden Goo-Beer-Lee’, and designed to taste like a Creme Egg, is being launched as a pre-Easter special. Packs of two are being sold to commemorate 50 years of the Creme Egg, and the stout goes on sale today (Wednesday 3 March).
To give the unusual beer its special Creme Egg flavour, makers have added ingredients such as milk sugar, cacao nibs, and vanilla beans.
