SCHIP is the Trojan Horse. We cannot let a House version of that bill make it through.
Bush needs to pull out that veto pen if they send him a version that is going to undermine the excellent private insurance plans that most working Americans have.
That’s my take on it as well. Sorry, but I don’t get that worked up over young adults and illegals not having health insurance. It would be best if they had it, but then that’s their responsibility and not ours. If you look at the group that doesn’t have insurance that doesn’t fall into these categories, the actual number of people without insurance is pretty small. And if you consider that some kids who work are still covered under their parent’s policy, the number gets even smaller. And if you consider that anyone will get service if they present themselves to a hospital in an emergency, that closes the loop.
Nobody is going without health coverage. You and I may be paying too much for some of them, but the idea they’ll just wither up and pass away is fraudulent.
