Democrats are so arrogant they know that if they are caught, they will suffer no consequences so it doesn’t matter.
You’ve got the wimpy PC version of this fable. LOL. When I was a kid, the story said that the grasshopper went to the ant’s house begging for food, and the ant told him to bugger off. The ant also chewed him out for screwing off instead of working.
Bonnie and Halsey Frost know the price of health insurance. Their 12-year-old son, Graeme, and his 9-year-old sister, Gemma, were severely injured in a car accident three years ago.
“I was driving and my car hit black ice and I lost control of it and I slammed into a tree. Gemma hit the tree and Graeme hit a window,” Bonnie said.

More than 100,000 Maryland children are covered under the federal program, according to state health officials. They estimate that the program will require an infusion of roughly $160 million in federal funds over the next five years - with the state also contributing dollars of its own - to continue providing coverage to those families. Additional funds would also provide health coverage to an additional 42,000 children in Maryland.
Maryland provides health coverage under SCHIP to families of four with annual household income of up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, or roughly $60,000 a year, Folkemer said. The reauthorization bill would not allow the state to provide coverage to families with a greater income, but the state could recruit more families with incomes below that level, he said.
The Frost family has a combined annual income of about $45,000, said Bonnie Frost. She and her husband have priced private health insurance, but they say it would cost them more per month than their mortgage - about $1,200 a month. Neither parent has health insurance through work.
“There should never be a moment when you have to ask, ‘Do you have health insurance?’” said Halsey Frost, who along with his wife is an advocate for a national health care plan that would cover everyone, no matter the age or income bracket.
“I am incredibly thankful,” said Frost, who works full time for a medical publishing firm. Her husband, Halsey, is a full-time woodworker. “Without the [SCHIP] program, we would be in another place emotionally and financially. I can’t imagine how we would have managed.”
Said Halsey Frost: “The medical tabs from the accident would have fallen on us. We would have lost our house.”
“We might go back to Washington to advocate against Bush’s veto,” said Bonnie Frost.

Graeme, a seventh-grader at the Park School, has a message for the president.
“If I could speak to him, I would say, ‘You have to sign this bill,’” he told reporters yesterday during his first visit to the Capitol. “I’m guessing he wants this money for Iraq. Our future isn’t in Iraq. It’s here.”
It appears that this company is a CABINET MAKING COMPANY.......so rather than lease out his building to Diversified, Mr. Frost actually owns Diversified too.
Just what I was thinking.
LOL — this is incredible.
icwhatudo: Good research, thanks.
nutmeg: For your ping list?

ROFLMAO! classic.
They’re Episcopalians?
Oh my, the Dems have really blown it this time. So much for the working-class stiff angle.
This is just too good!
Poor? Poor? Have they, the Rats and the media have no shame in begging of he rest of us?
Sure hope he isn't paying for that private school through the corporation. The IRS might not approve.
We know damn well no elected Republican or the AWOL RNC will make a peep about this Phony Impoverished Family!
This guy is young and has chosen not to carry insurance. Something Republicans have said is logical. So what are the Democrats bitching about, their spokesman is practicing what we are preaching. If they had their way he would be forced to cut some cost somewhere to purchase insurance. Of course the fact that he is allowed to get medical care and foist the expense on to his neighbor is abhorrent but no more so than every Mexican that sneaks across the border getting free medical care.

This is all great. Unfortunately it will never see the light of day as far as the MSM goes.
