Graeme Frost, who gave the democrat rebuttal to George Bush’s reasons for vetoing the SCHIP Bill, is a middle school student at the exclusive$20,000 per year Park School in Baltimore, MD.
Graeme was in a severe car accident three years ago, and received care paid for by the government program known as SCHIP-(State Children's Health Insurance Program)
"I was in a coma for a week and couldn't eat or stand up or even talk. My sister was even worse," Graeme wrote. "My parents work really hard and always make sure my sister and I have everything we need, but we can't afford private health insurance."
His sister Gemma, also severely injured in the accident, attended the same school prior to the accident meaning the family was able to come up with nearly $40,000 per year for tuition for these 2 grade schoolers. Confirmation both attended Park found here using edit-"find on this page"-Gemma. It will take you to an article in the schools newspaper about a fundraiser for Gemma class of 16, and Graeme class of 13.
Here are photos of the school's 44,000 square foot Wyman Arts Center: two galleries, an outdoor ampitheater, Meyerhoff Theater, Macks-Fidler Black Box Theater, practice rooms, rehearsal space, and ceramics, 3-D sculpture, woodworking, jewelry, painting, photography, digital graphics studios, recording studio, and keyboard lab.
In a Baltimore Sun article the family claims to be raising their four children on combined income of about $45,000 a year. "Bonnie Frost works for a medical publishing firm; her husband, Halsey, is a woodworker. They are raising their four children on combined income of about $45,000 a year. Neither gets health insurance through work."
What the article does not mention is that Halsey Frost has owned his own company "Frostworks",since this marriage announcement in the NY Times in 1992 so he chooses to not give himself insurance. He also employed his wife as "bookkeeper and operations management" prior to her recent 2007 hire at the "medical publishing firm". As her employer, he apparently denied her health insurance as well.
His company, Frostworks, is located at 3701 E BALTIMORE ST. A building that was purchased for $160,000 in 1999. The buildings owner is listed as DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIAL DESIGN CENTER, LLC whose mailing address is listed as 104 S Collington Ave which is the Frost's home. The commercial property he owns is also listed as the business address for another company called Reillys Designs which leads to the question of whether rental income is included in the above mentioned salary total
The current market value of their improved 3,040 SF home at 104 S Collington Ave is unknown but 113 S COLLINGTON AVE, also an end unit, sold for $485,000 this past March and it was only 2,060 SF. A photo taken in the family's kitchen shows what appears to be a recent remodeling job with granite counter tops and glass front cabinets
One has to wonder that if time and money can be found to remodel a home, send kids to exclusive private schools, purchase commercial property and run your own business... maybe money can be found for other things...maybe Dad should drop his woodworking hobby and get a real job that offers health insurance rather than making people like me (also with 4 kids in a 600sf smaller house and tuition $16,000 less per kid and no commercial property ownership) pay for it in my taxes.
Seat belts are for conservatives.
How about showing icwhatudo some love for doing the job that the drive by media won’t do and posting his sleuthing somewhere sticky on the sidebar for the next week?
An army of Davids.
Thank you for posting all of this information regarding the latest RAT scam to push socialized health care. What I see is that the boy and his sister were covered by the SCHIP program in existence so why is this story pitched as a criticism of the program rather than as support for a program that is working? How much money have they received to date from the SCHIP program and how long is it expected to continue? Also, I see no mention of the social security payments that are in all probability now going to the disabled children. And maybe their parents as well since they are now care takers of disabled children. A full disclosure by these people of all of the social programs they and there children are now or have been benefiting from is in order. Further, I find this couple just plain pitiful character wise. They have bought into the cradle to grave socialist mind set. They will not need to worry about reeducation camps if their socialist side gets control of our Republic. We are seeing the future if the RATS prevail in pushing their socialist agendas.
I AGREE!

The real question is are the American people ignorant enough to do it. Answer is still an open question.
Raise taxes, fund socialism and gun control. Democrats are not hard to understand.
Have they accused you of being a paid operative for the GOP yet?
Nice work. :-)
Wait a minute!
This was a car accident?
From the Baltimore Sun article:
Graeme and his 9-year-old sister, Gemma, were passengers in the family SUV in December 2004 when it hit a patch of black ice and slammed into a tree. Both were taken to a hospital with severe brain trauma. Graeme was in a coma for a week and still requires physical therapy.
Who was driving? I assume it was one of the parents.
Who was, and who was not, wearing seat belts? Only the kids were injured.
What about the liability insurance on the driver of the car. That usually has a bodily injury component.
The guy is 40 years old, and was 37 when the accident happened, with a wife and four kids.
He is not some single 23 year-old.
Zillow estimates the house is worth $360,633.
What a surprise! NOT! What a bunch of low rent moonbats.
Wish I could afford digs and a school and have the gubmint pay for my insurance to boot, as well.
Do it for the children!!
Oooh! Pick me! Pick me! I do.
They're sewers. But that's not unexpected considering Baltimore is a sewer.
I guess they figured we would never find out the truth.
Boortz slammed this one last Monday.
Perhaps Mr. & Mrs. Frost would like to publish their 1040’s!
