BACK TO THE OLD "SCHIP"!

Re: SCHIP Legislation


I have been amazed at the almost hysterical propaganda that has been thrown at the American public by supporters of the radically expanded SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program) leading up to the presidential veto override attempt which thankfully failed.

The original Republican bill provided health coverage for children of parents that were poor but not poor enough to be covered by Medicaid. Re-authorizing the bill with some tweaking and reasonable expansion would have been the smart and right thing to do but the democrats would have none of that.

They saw an opportunity to further their socialist agenda by creating a health welfare monster and to reach their goal they would paint all opponents as heartless scrooges.

I want to thank the brave legislators who saw through their ruse and stood their ground for fiscal responsibility and the American way.
