So I found this in TIME
It turns out, however, that not everything about the Frosts’ life pops up on a Google search. While Graeme does attend a private school, he does so on scholarship. Halsey Frost is a self-employed woodworker; he and his wife say they earn between $45,000 and $50,000 a year to provide for their family of six. Their 1936 rowhouse was purchased in 1990 for $55,000. It was vacant and in a run-down neighborhood that has improved since then, in part because of people like themselves who took a chance. It is now assessed at $263,140, though under state law the value of that asset is not taken into account in determining their eligibility for SCHIP. And while they are still uninsured, they claim it is most certainly not by choice. Bonnie Frost says the last time she priced health coverage, she learned it would cost them $1,200 a month.

They gotta show their documents and they won’t. They’ve already declined to show tax returns. When you put yourself into this level of politics, letting your child be used to attack the other party, you have to prove everything you say because you are a partisan. For all you know, each of the Frost children has a hundred thousand dollar bank account or more. For all you know, all of the $45,000 income they show is investment income. At this point, I don’t even know if Maryland SCHIP requires you to include income from tax free municipal bonds. Thats the gist of the issue: loopholes are bad public policy because they erode confidence.
