Like many people, I've been watching with interest the story regarding S-CHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) in the news and have been fascinated with the push for what amounts to socialized medicine by the Democratic Party. Nancy Pelsoi, the Speaker of the House seems to have taken this issue on personally with much time and attention. There are many who view this as purely a politcal game by the Democrats to make the current Bush administration look bad, particularly before the '08 election. Be that as it may, the Dems really are showing themselves to be somewhat sloppy in their approach.
When this story first appeared in the news, a local Baltimore family, the Frosts', came into view as the poster family for the expansion of S-CHIP. Graeme Frost, a Baltimore seventh-grade student (as of 2007) gave the United States Democratic Party weekly radio address on September 28, 2007 promoting the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) as a living example.
Mr. Vincent DeMarco, of the Maryland Citizen's Health Initiative, who approached the Frosts' with the idea of doing the radio address, claimed to become aware of the Frost family through their mutual children attending the same school. This school, the Park School, has recently received media attention during the ongoing debate of the Democratic push to expand the S-CHIP Program as at least two of the Frost children attend the Park School. The tuition at the Park School is quoted as being $20,0000 per year, per student. Apparently the Frosts' have received some sort of financial "aid" or "scholarship" for their children. The exact details remain murky.
So, why is this interesting? It's interesting because Mr. DeMarco's organization, the Maryland Citizens' Health Initiative has as their Treasurer a man by the name of Joel Rabin. Mr. Rabin is described on the MCHI website not only as the Treasurer of MCHI, but as a "community activist and former counsel for the State Department of Human Resources". Mr. Rabin's wife, Nancy Kohn Rabin, also a community activist, is listed on the Park School website as a former President of the Park School. Could this fact have anything to do with the virtually "free education" that the Frost children receive from the tony Park School? Are there more connections? Who knows.
What I do know, is that Ms. Nancy D'Allesandro Pelosi is also from Baltimore, (her father and brother were both Mayor) and Ms. Pelosi teamed up with Mr. DeMarco and his organization (which has received funding from George Soros) to promote the expansion of the S-CHIP program.
Ping.

Just wait until you see the exceptions in O’Malley’s tax hike. I’m sure the fine print in the final bill will be amazing.

Could you please send this along to your “Maryland Freak State” list? Thanks much.
Thanks.
I knew there had to be a connection and I finally took the time to actually look.
The people involved in this particular story seem to have a rather incestuous relationship or, in other words, they’re all in bed together.
Ping.
Thought you might be interested. You should read the whole rant. New info.
Cool.
Who’s the guy on the right?

Great find!
another alumni from ‘70.
Ms. Pelosi should go back to representing the Land of Fruits and Nuts. We already have a full Congressional delegation in this state.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
