A look at the federal government's expansion of SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) and how you can do your part to help the children.
It should be spelled Sh-t.
Ping ~ For the Childrun’~
No Schit....;)
I am finding it difficult for me justifying my taxes paying for this when here in Ohio, the Public Employees Retirement System is trying to force me out of the medical system until I reach age 55. They will still cover the retirees and children, but are only doing this to the spouses.
I’ve always done the “right thing,” as the politicians say. I’ve always paid all of my bills, have always had my own health insurance, and have never even taken a cent from unemployment when I could have. Now, I’m expected to pay for this plan while, like I said prior, my state is trying to force me out of their medical coverage plan until I reach age 55.
Hug a Smoker today~We need it.
Smokers are one of the first groups to be hit with excessive Socialist Taxes.
This is the most STUPID way to fund a program that I have ever heard of. What kind of “intellectuals” come up with this stuff?
It originally was passed by Republicans, back in the day, and was funded by cigarette tax then too.
This program is out of control Socialism now - first step to Universal National HealthScare Insurance.
According to the Federal and State Governments, if Everyone would just start smoking again the whole country would be in the Black again.
When you see a smoker, thank them for the service they are doing for this country.
Well, let's have everyone be patriotic. You don't have to smoke them -- just buy them then. LOL.
"How did you do that?"
"I bought a pack of cigaretts."
I laughed pretty hard at that and thought how great it was that this young person got it.
Smart kid.
Now that’s truly HOPE! :-)
More socialism.
What a great American that man is ~Think of all the Band Aids he just bought!
Most smokers are also among the poorest. Hypocrisy of the Left who have cornered the Big Media market on ‘caring more for the poor’.
My county pays for spouses health insurance---the spouses cost more than the employees!
The employees can retire after 20 years and the county pays the employee part until they turn 65. They raise taxes every year that goes to their insurance benefits---nothing to the public.
They are bankrupting the county with their benefits--to numerous to mention.
Have you even known of a gov't entitlement program that didn't get bigger.
I pay a good amount every month to be covered under my husband’s plan — just as one does under a private company’s plan. Effective January 1, 2011, spouses will have to pay the entire amount (anywhere from $400 to $800) to be covered under under the plan.
