The SCHIP Bill is a Pile of SCH*T!
“According to the non-partisan CBO, this bill {SCHIP} will entice roughly 2.4 million people to drop their private insurance coverage in lieu of the taxpayer funded program. This is a serious problem, as SCHIP funds will be diverted from those low-income families who need it the most and will have the effect of making private insurance even more unaffordable.”

SCHIP is the children and infants health program including a provision for illegal immigrants smack dab in the middle of it (but not obvious, of course)–i.e. not requiring participants to verify citizenship. As Mr. Limbaugh states on his December 19th 2008 radio broadcast:
“Look, politicians {Democrats} want those votes and they want the eventual contributions those people are going to make out of gratitude.”
It happened today, folks: read it and weep–Baumy needs these votes in 2012–and this is a back door to amnesty. Oh yes it is. He knows that those grateful parents of that free health care (without citizenship or responsibility of paying taxes) will vote for the continuation of the free handouts by voting for “the party of free handouts”(of OUR tax dollars of course)–the DEMS!

“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” – Ronald Reagan…I’d finish this with {until we get the tax bill} CBG:
Bush 2 vetoed this bill twice because it is another step toward socialized medicine. Welcome to France…or Canada! We had dinner with some Canadians last summer. They were vehement about their disgust with the 6 month wait to see a doctor (unless you were dying), the fear of doctors to lose their licenses if they give help any sooner and the fact that half of the taxpayer’s paychecks actually went solely toward this poor service.
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have.” Gerald Ford
We are on our way to universal health care. First the kids …who would NOT vote for KIDS to get free health care!!! Those NASTY Republicans! That NASTY Bush! (psssst! eventually all illegals will have this because they are part of the “40 million without healthcare” Obama talks about) but we’re not mentioning that now…now it is just the CHILDREN we want you to care about! The next group will be the ELDERLY…and who would NOT vote for the ELDERLY to get free health care!! Those NASTY Republicans!! Then don’t forget the kids’ PARENTS–they need health care so that they are healthy enough to take their kids to the free clinics with the free universal taxpayer-paid health care!!! Now who would NOT vote for the PARENTS (illegal) of the KIDS (illegal)??? Those NASTY Republicans!!! DON’T VOTE FOR THEM!!! You have to WORK for your family if you vote for a Republican—-you have to be RESPONSIBLE! If we are going to have a welfare state (and with Obama, that is right where we are headed) with free checks for those who don’t pay taxes and free universal health care , we canNOT vote Republican!!! By golly, we got to vote ourselves a paycheck!!! (Look what it did for the African American community!!! Guess what it will do for the Hispanic community!!)…Only problem is…it ain’t free for the taxpayers….WELCOME TO SOCIALISM y’all!
“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is free!” PJ O’Rourke
Did you watch the bill signing? The One was speaking of a mandate, health care for all! The people cheered… “hurray socialism!”
I was eating a snack at the time, and suddenly lost my appetite.
Shane,
I can’t bear to watch a lot of what he does. The slobbering adoration he elicits is disgusting. He’s on right now threatening economic catastrophe if the stimulus is not passed. But we know their hurry to get this passed is the warning of what a piece of porkulus trash it is. I hope we prevail and people do not give up the fight on this and many other basketball sized hailstones headed our way.
Your post is the most accurate interpretation of this foolish SCHIP program that I have read this morning. And the part about appealing to illegal immigrants by covering their kids’ health care – I agree. And you are right about Rush Limbaugh’s take on such an appeal – to end the Republican party. This SCHIP really is the product of a political machine like Tammany Hall or something. And the propaganda aspect – who wouldn’t want to help the kids – it just turns off people’s minds and they don’t think about what the consequences of this will be. Great post.
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Lyn. The most frightening act I see repeating itself is the dictator-like strokes Obama has made since Day 1: Closing Gitmo, signing off on the taxpayers’ funding of abortion internationally, and this latest decision….no discussion, no chance for Americans to respond…it is a done deal.
I AM SO ANGRY!
Tom Daschle, and Nancy Killefer are two of the finest, and most competent public servants you could possibly hope for in these appointments. They have been assassinated by the Washington healthcare lobby through their paid Bush Republican henchmen in congress. These Bush republicans are the same people blocking the economic recovery plan put forth by the Obama administration.
I am BURNING MAD America. And you should be too. Tome Daschle and Nancy Killefer were exactly what we needed to help turn this country around and fix our economy, and catastrophic healthcare crisis.
If I were their boss I would tell them to get right back to Washington. And dare congress to not approve them. How ridiculous is it to reject highly qualified people that this country needs just because they made a mistake on their taxes. Don’t stand for that anymore America. They apologized, and paid their taxes, and that should be it. Their country needs them. But President Obama has to do what he thinks is best. I understand that. I’M JUST SO MAD at the anti American Bush Republicans.
Like many of you I have been trying to enjoy the after glow of this Beautiful historic election. But I see that the republicans in congress and their cohorts aren’t going to be good sports, and LOSER’S!
SO BE IT!
In spite of President Obama’s repeated offers, and gestures of collegiality to Republicans. Bush Republicans have seized upon every opportunity to stab President Obama in the back. And by doing so they are stabbing you, and the rest of the American people in the back. Well, you don’t have to put up with that. And you shouldn’t put up with that. President Obama has only been on the job two weeks. And he inherited two wars, and the worst economy since the great depression.
We had an election. And president Obama, and the democrats won BIG. And Bush Republicans lost miserably!
The Bush Republicans are the ones responsible for the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And the Bush Republicans are responsible for the worst healthcare crisis in American history. A healthcare crisis that is killing hundreds of thousands of you every year. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies.
President Obama, and the Democrats should take back all the concessions they granted the Bush Republicans, and tell them to put up! or shut up!
Everyone, start calling and contacting these Bush Republicans and tell them to stop blocking President Obama, and the Democrats recovery plan. And stop trying to block, and corrupt healthcare reform. Tell them to get on board with President Obama and the Democrats, or GET OUT!!
If these Bush Republicans refuse to cooperate I want all of you to immediately begin the process of removing them from office by every legal means possible. Including impeachment, and recall. I want you to bring the full weight and power of the movement down on their heads that swept President Obama, and the Democrats into control of the whitehouse, and congress. Take no prisoners. Use all the techniques you learned over this past historic election. Be flexible, creative, adaptable, and relentless like you were in the past.
To my cyber warriors I call on you again. You are among the best and the brightest. I call on you to move this fight from the cyber world to the living rooms, dens, and work places of the voters these Bush Republicans misrepresent. I know I can count on you. This is a fight worth fighting.
To my fellow World citizens. As an American I invite, and welcome you and your advise, input, and help. By delaying Americas recovery, and healthcare reform, these Bush Republicans are delaying our commitment to your recovery, and to being the better America for you that we aspire too.
I had hoped it would not come to this after our historic election. I had hoped that the Bush Republicans would respect the overpowering will of the people, and the World. But I guess not. All the Bush Republicans really care about is them-selves. Well, SO BE IT! Lets finish the job.
Sincerely

Jack, Jack, stop drinking the koolaide!! For godsakes! Let me respond to some of your allegations. Go ahead and read it in parts if you need to because it is a lot of koolaide antidote for one session.
1.) Dems got the vote of 53 million Americans. 47 million did not vote for him. This is not an overwhelming majority. Almost half the American public, despite the slobbering love affair of the MSM, despite the charming rhetoric and hypnotic voice, despite the false promises–VOTED AGAINST MR. OBAMA! Whew! Glad THAT part is over!
2.) Daschle’s health care program has already failed in Europe. Tried and failed. Do some research. I don’t have time to show you.
3.) Obama having a few conservative talk show hosts out to dinner and a few senators over for some libation is not crossing the aisle. There is so much PORK in the stimulus package…Ok, Ok, I’ll help you…read:

4.) We need health care reform but it can’t be under the weight of 50% of the population. The taxpayers CANNOT bear the weight of over half of the country (the 43 million without health care includes at least 25 million illegals who do not pay a penny in taxes). Talk to some Canadians and see if they like their health care. It is universally smelly and dangerously expensive not to mention deadly for most of them.
5.) Yes, this election of a half-black man was historic but that is all it was. He is clueless and is lead around the nose by the worst far-left liberals this country has ever seen. You think life will be great with his Marxist and socialist ideas, don’t you. You will be lucky if the conservative right prevails, Jack, but if they don’t, by the time you figure it out and realize what a loser you’ve elected, it will be too late…for all of us.
