Re: “Repair, reinstate child health care program”, Oct. 19.
The voice of reason editorial “Repair, reinstate child health care program”, Oct. 19 was a welcome reprieve from the almost hysterical pro-SCHIP (State Child Health Insurance Program) propaganda put out in the media by Democrats and the Archdiocese of Detroit among others.
Painting opponents of the new radically expanded SCHIP legislation as somehow against the welfare of poor children is inexcusable and points to the extreme levels that some are willing to go to just to get their way.
The original Republican SCHIP legislation provided health coverage to children of low-income parents who did not qualify for Medicaid. The plan was working and should have been re-authorized with modest expansion.
But the Democrats saw the plan as a road to socialized medicine and expanded it into a health welfare monster that opened the door to kids that were not poor, not kids anymore and in some cases, with existing health coverage.
The health of poor children was used by Democrats to advance their socialist agenda and therefore I salute the brave legislators who saw through their ruse and stood their ground for fiscal responsibility and the American way.
