The State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) was founded in 1997 to provide health insurance to families who are looking for too much money for Medicaid but are not sufficient for private insurance. The plan covered health insurance for nearly 7 million children last year.
Congress recently adopted a proposal that will expand the program from $ 5 billion to $ 35 billion over five years. George Bush, who has a better job with money than supporting disadvantaged children, vetoed the bill that could cost 4 million more children by 2012. Bush claimed that the bill "federalizes" health care
Money for the kids, but a lot of money for war in the Middle East. We need three billion dollars for a week for Afghanistan and Iraq. One Week! Give the kids the aspirin and tell them to wait a little longer.
We have no money for our children, but there is much money for Israel. Where do we find the recently approved $ 30 billion over the next 10 years for defense aid to Israel? Eliminate Food Stamp Assistance for Poor Americans? Maybe the dentists will have to pay back for the prostheses and their feet.
What about the standard annual aid package for Israel? For years it has been said that it "only" has reached 2-3 billion. Do not believe it! If we calculate the debt forgiveness and the costs of early payments – not yet mentioning the entire weapon system – Israel will receive more than $ 10 billion US dollars annually!
You may not have heard of the latest counterfeiting system as Favorite. Ally. Concerned about the declining dollar, Israelis are now requesting their annual publication in euros. As the euro now stands at $ 1.40, the $ 10 billion would rise to $ 14 billion.
Nice. Our bridge falls apart, homeless homeless veterans, poor New Orleans blacks who have been abandoned by their government, and two more years after Katrina waiting for help – the millions of children's denial of health insurance – and Israel raises! When will health be restored? When do we demand the entire government? Beginners.
Facing the human face in child health insurance debates, 12-year-old Graeme Frost of Congressional Democrats have been asked to respond to George Bush's weekly radio address. Young Graeme and her sister were seriously injured in a car accident and their recovery was helped by the CHIP program. "If it were not CHIP, maybe I was not here today," Graeme said. "We made it easier for us to get health insurance through the CHIP program."
A story from the young spokesman appeared in the Baltimore Day, and the attacks began. Conservative bloggers relied on the boy and his family. They reported that Graeme Frost and his brother, Gemma, went to a private school where they paid $ 20,000 a year. His father, Halsey, is a self-employed woodworking company – he obviously decided not to pay for the insurance. But it turned out that the Frost kids went to school in almost complete schools, and Halsey Frost last year had $ 45,000 – not enough to provide health insurance. Gemma Frost is attending a private school to help with brain injury caused by accidents. The state pays a full $ 23,000 annual fee
Right-wing republican fanatics have asked for the contempt of the whole country for the disgusting tactic of the 12-year-old boy and his family. The attacks did not refuse them. The Rush Limbaugh Conservative commentator described them as rich parasites and revealed their personal information, including Frost's home address and the father's employment. Senator Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell is accused of sending lies and personal information to the media by email to ABC's reporter. A McConnell aide denies the award, but McConnell is the legislator's sponsor, which actually reduces the number of children covered by benefits.
Cui Bono? Why not personally attack a 12-year-old kid from his coma by introducing laws that injure other children? This is under contempt. How low are you, can not you go? The frosts are harassed and attacked for no reason – apart from the desperate attempt to prevent millions of children from receiving healthcare.
Republicans gave another pathetic sight of arrogance and greed. No wonder it is a self-destructive one in the eyes of a once large, compassionate country.
The hate of personality, the Republicans are exposed. He's trying to punish a 12-year-old child and family – simply because they dared. Freedom of expression is still barely protected by the first constitutional amendment. When you leave, we all suffer from the state totalitarian government of the police, who you seem to have so much annoyed.
When a national news agency like ABC tries to dazzle a 12-year-old child and their parents, they can not afford to spend half their health insurance income-we're in trouble. And Canada becomes more attractive every day.
I know, I know I'm a traitor and all this. Bad! I like this country. Really. Unfortunately, I can not help but hate you and you are afraid of my steering. I traveled in the world and I will always be American. Funny thing. America no longer exists. We are an occupied country with a government that does not represent us anymore. In fact, we are a non-national citizen.
And try as I do, I do not think of any practical way to change things. Our next elected government will be as bad or worse as it is now. Republicans continue to attack children because of lack of health insurance. We still torture people all over the world. We are still destroying the countries and stealing the natural resources and taking innocent life. It's not America that I knew. So how can we change it? I'm afraid it's too late and I do not think we know it. I'm too old to join any armed revolution – it's just bleeding. In addition to suddenly reminding me of a survey I read a few years ago. Members of the armed forces questioned whether they had any objections to opening fire to US citizens if they denied the confiscation of their weapons.
Their answer was "no" with the vast majority. I would think twice before trying to overthrow the government. The FBI, the CIA, the BATF, the Secret Service and all other agencies would be against you. With policemen who are ready to abolish each bones immediately – for whatever reason or not at all. Blackwater's black mercenary army is Blackwater's killer. Along with the army, the Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard staff.
Do you think you have a chance? I do not think so. And the more I think about this, the more reason I have to notice our northern neighbors. Not least the question of health insurance. The Canadians think a bit bizarre that they are discussing whether or not the developed Western society should take care of their children. For 40 years he has run a universal, unified soliciting Medicare system – and any party even proposing to privatize healthcare and return it to the private health insurance industry would be a political suicide.
Wondering and disbelieving. You can not blame them. Depending on how drastic they are, I think I may be tempted one day. You might have to consider it. After all, they enjoy one thing they did not. Unlike the United States, apparently there is a government that really cares about its citizens. It would be a new experience and another world.
