Here's a bold plan to offset Washington state's projected $2.6 billion budget shortfall without raising taxes or cutting programs: give vitamin D3 supplements to Medicaid clients.

We are a nation suffering from D3 deficiency. This has been linked to radically higher rates of a host of illnesses ranging from respiratory infections to breast cancer and even autism.
