This is just one bad apple from a barrel of good ones. That health care plan WAS needed! One example is the decision to ban MDI inhalers. Appx 5% of all asthmatic people cannot use the new inhalers. They cannot afford or have been denied specialized health care and alternative methods are not covered by insurance and are too costly to pay cash for. I know because I am part of the 5%. Alternative health care would cost me a min of $750 a month. The new healthcare plan would have helped me pay for services that could save my life. Instead everyone is turning their heads away to see the bad apples not the people it could actually help!
Ms. Anderson likes her version better. The facts just cloud the message.
It’s just an example of what Coulter said, the democrats figured how could you attack the message if it was delivered by a 12-year-old who suffered a terrible car accident?
You can tell Halsey is from a prominent family, otherwise the Times would not have listed an out of state wedding.
Didn’t matter, for some reason the state covered their medical bills.
Which brings up another point — this kid got insurance through the program AS IT EXISTED ALREADY. Bush wanted to put an extra 5 billion into the program to continue it. Bush’s plan would have covered this kid.
The Democrats decided instead to expand the program to cover richer and older and illegal people, and Bush vetoed that.

I want to congratulate you on not only your diligent research, but for presenting it without bombast and name-calling. This is Free Republic at its finest, and the subsequent blogosphere and radio attention to this thread is an indication of what kind of activity will get FR could be taken more seriously.

Nobody here I know of is against helping someone who really needs help. Welcome aboard, you’ll really like the fast updates.
Was Graeme wearing his seat belt when he hit the tree and a window?
This couple and their family are nothing but a group of con artists! They get SCHIP to pay their medical expenses - what about the auto insurance? How are they paying for private school for two elementary school kids? And on top of that raise money in their community. The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I hope the IRS is on them like an owl on a field mouse!
Well, her husband said nobody should have to ask if they have medical insurance, so maybe he feels the same way about car insurance.
If they have an accident, someone ELSE should pay for the damages, like the taxpayers. Why should HE have to pay for his own medical care?
They have 4 kids. Maybe they should use some of that 45 thousand to buying a good pack of condoms.
When you own the company, you can "pay yourself" what ever salary you want, within reason. It has to be believable, and at least pass a quick look over by the IRS.
I suspect the company check book has been paying for a lot of things, like tuition, remodling, "company" cars, a cabin in the woods, RV's etc. and be written off as a business expense of one kind or another.
IF the IRS takes an interest in this guy, they are going to go back as far as they can 7 years or more, with a fine toothed comb.
Not only will this guy have a lot of back taxes to cough up, he may have many other charges to deal with depending on how many government programs he took advantage of by being "poor" on paper, and of course tax evasion charges.
It will be interesting if Pelosi and Reid provide free lawyering for them, considering they were the ones who wrote the script for this "phony poor family".
I wonder if Pelosi and Reid may be on the hook for charges as well, or at least be held responsible for LYING to the public, organizing as phoney story in order to advance their cause.
The GOP should demand a formal inquiry into their actions, you could be sure the RATS would insist on one had this been a republican scam.
Dance, little toad!
It’s John Denver!!!
Not sure, in previous post only Bonnie was indicated as wearing a seat belt.
way to go in uncovering this...you is famous now ...good internet sleuthing
Was Bonnie ticketed for driving too fast for road conditions?
They are indeed a prominent family.
By coincidence I researched Halsey family genealogy (the New Jersey branch) for a town history project a few years ago.
The Halseys of my town were very prominent and very wealthy throughout the 1800s; one here fought in the Civil War (and I put a flag on his grave in our historic cemetery).
Admiral "Bull" Halsey, commander of the U.S. Third Fleet in the South Pacific during WWII, is one of the more recent famous Halseys. Admiral Halsey's slogans were "Kill Japs, Kill Japs, Kill More Japs!" and "Hit hard, hit fast, hit often."
But recent descendants of our local Halsey branch have gone far, far to the Left. They left NJ for New England and became wealthy advocates for international "family planning" (read: abortion); and for "understanding" with the Soviet Union.
