Reading the headline may be misleading. The Democrats recently tried to up the schip program to cover more children. We’re talking about a $35 billion dollar addition for ‘low income’ children. That comment is misleading, I highly doubt that this bracket is ‘low income’. The expansion would have covered children of families making up to $80,000 a year. That’s beyond necessary, I think if you’re making that much money a year, unless you have ten children, you don’t need to the schip program. So, how were they going to pay for this plan?

Do you smoke?

Well, the plan was to add a 61-cent tax on each pack of cigarettes. I am not a smoker, anymore, but this is ridiculous. You want to tack on more taxes for smokers to pay for children who most likely do not need the free health care plan to begin with? My family? We need the health care but let me assure you that we make no where near $80,000 a year. The problem ends up being that we would cover a large amount of people that don’t need it. You can guarantee people in that bracket would ditch the care they pay for now for the government care, this would stress the system unnecessarily.

Don’t expect the Democrats to let this go, this is just one more opportunity to unrightfully slander the right.

“Today the president showed the nation his true priorities: $700 billion for a war in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids; $50 billion in subsidies for huge oil companies; but no health care for low-income kids; $8 billion lost to waste, fraud, abuse, and no-bid contracts in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids,” said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.

“Millions of American children and their families won’t forget that they are on the bottom of the president’s priority list,” Emanuel said.

Family health care coverage can cost more than $1,000 a month, and Democrats say they have the public on their side.

“Once again, the Democratic Party are aligned with 70 percent of the public,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday.

I just can’t imagine people making $80,00 being considering poor. My father makes half of that and I’m sure he would love free health care but he doesn’t have it. I don’t have any coverage but yet again I do not make that much money. If we start covering privileged families that make comfortable salaries we will unnecessarily tax our system. We are slowly watching the Democrats’ efforts to turn our country into a communist nation, we can’t allow that. We need to stop teaching Americans that they can get everything for free, like generations past we all need to work for what we receive. The government is not here to carry us a long and pay our bills, we must not rely on them.
