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.
I think I also smell SCHIPS insurance fraud. I wonder how what the cash side of the woodworking business looks like. You just don’t come up with those kind of assets putting rockers together for $150 each.
Jim Vicevich at WTIC 1080-AM Hartford, CT is taking about the Frost family now.

“I just can’t believe the Democrats would use a child to lie to us for their own advantage.”
Why not?
It IS the DNC and the Clintons we are dealing with, here...
If it passes, the Democrats can say they “Did” something for the Children...
If it fails, they can Campaign on Republicans “Killing The Children!!!!”
2008 is going to make the “Seniors are eating DOGFOOD!” BS of 1992 look TAME....

Sorry, I didn’t include the usual “/sarcasm” HTML tag. My comment was pure sarcasm. The Democrats are nothing but whores. (sorry to insult other whores who actually work for a living) :-)
WOW! Just began reading about this. I just ate breakfastm but I will have to risk projectile vomiting and go see if the DUmmies are discussing the topic....or if they are ignoring it in hopes it will disappear down the memory hole. Yes the internet is great becuase you can now gather information and it is harder to pass of this sort of bogus story. On the other hand, I beleive the majority of people these days have such short attention spans that unless the story is really pushed hard it will not get much traction and will end up being noticed as much as a NYT correction that is buried on page 37.
excellent job bump

Hm - good to know that under left wing legislation the rich get richer.
Hello Kossocks - you guys suck :P
Husband and I are both self-employed. We pay Blue Cross $480 per month to insure us and our two children. We have a $35 co-pay and a 5K deductible, but private health insurance is NOT out of reach for most employed Americans.
mega kudos!!! Rush is metioning your reporting. Duck and cover, you are on the libs’ schit(p) list now.
Rush is discussing this right now and shouting out to Freepers as well.
I hereby nominate icwhatudo for a Buckhead Award!!!

Swiftboat –verb (used with object): to attack (a candidate or public figure) systematically by shining the light of truth on previously unpublicized facts; or by correcting deliberately distorted stories and/or claims.
Of course the Kos Kidz are still using the Frost children as human shields ... for Democrat lies.
Hey, Kos-sacks: Nobody blames the Frost children for the Dims' lies.
But if the Frost PARENTS are complicit in the lies --and in using their own children as props to support those lies, then they richly deserve to be swiftboated.
