To fight the Congressional Dems on SCHIP, the GOP ought to throw it right back at them.

The GOP ought to put forth an amendment that require any Congresscritters and the staff of those who vote for SCHIP be required to sign their own children up for SCHIP coverage.

* The SCHIP program is basically the same as Medicaid — full of red tape and restrictions on providing quality care.
o There’s lots of clinics that don’t take it, or severely limit access to care by one means or another. This is likely to get much worse if SCHIP passes in it’s current format.
o Putting more folks into the Medicaid treadmill is only going to make it harder for the truly needy on Medicaid to get timely care as the middle class starts cutting and crowding in line for their care.

Making it harder for needy kids to get care isn’t compassionate, it’s nuts.

SCHIP Runs Aground on Adult Coverage…

Anyone still naïve enough to believe that the SCHIP legislation being pushed by congressional Democrats is about children should read this in the NYT:
Eight senators told Democratic leaders this week that they could not support any bill if their state…

If SChip is still tied to an increase in tobacco tax I still want to know if the tax will be sufficient to cover the cost. If not, and I seriously doubt it is, then we’re in for a serious tax increase. Many reports claim the largest numbers of smokers are those in lower income brackets…so, they’ll get health care for their little ones (who will diffinately need it), because they’ll be buying less necessary items for those same children so that the adults can continue their smoking habit. What are the morons in DC thinking that support this bill?

Ok, MarciLyn…. I love the Eagles… but putting those lyrics together with the thought of Government Healthcare just scared the bejesus out of me.

And that’s no easy thing to do.

All this talk about pushing socialized healthcare and ‘getting more people to feed at the trough’ just reminds me of a song I think we’re all familiar with…(with my abject apologies to Don Henley):

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ‘We are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
‘Relax,’ said the night man,
‘We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!’

…gives me the heebie-jeebies when I think about it.

Isn’t that a double negative-oxymoron?

DNO = LIBERAL = TROLL (interchangable)

Pronounced:

dunn-no

For full effect they turn their hands palm up, raise them shoulder high and shrug their shoulders.

Something funny to report: A guy my wife works with saw Sicko…he thought it was good. My wife then said to him – well you know, for every good thing you say, I can show you an article which talks about how care is rationed, those needing it the most are treated the least, and so on. His response – “Don’t believe everything you read”. So my soft spoken never get in anybody’s face (much to my annoyance) responds – “You also can’t believe everything you see”. He walked away muttering.

One month? Are they SURE they wanna do that?

Aren’t they concerned that S-CHIP isn’t popular, and attempting to ram it through makes them look bad?

Huh… guess not…

Shush everybody. Don’t let these idiots know that they are digging their won grave by continuing to play their far left hand on every issue. The Gallup numbers are a sight for sore eyes and those kooks in Congress keep doing the same things that got them the lowest approval ratings in the history of Congress. I know it Bush’s fault…..but they simpley can’t lay the blame on the Republicans and Bush. It’s call a mirror!
