Was this program intended to bail out middle class families that don’t want to spend money on health care?
Considering their excellent financial situation I would not call the Frost’s “middle class.” I read that they bought their house 9 years ago for $50,000 and it is now worth $300,000. That’s a damn nice amount of equity.
When the SCHIP program was first proposed, Ted Kennedy talked about families who were forced to "choose between health insurance and food".
I am waiting for Ted to come out now and decry a nation which forces families to choose between "health insurance and buying a $160,000 commerical space".
The horror!
“Was this program intended to bail out middle class families that don’t want to spend money on health care?”
According to Democrats.
From each according to their tax bill.
To each according to how well they slavishly support Democrats!
Of course. When a family would rather buy a new Mercedes, flat-screen TV, or party hard than pay for their own family's health care, then certainly the Democrats should enable government to forcibly extract the health care money from other citizens. That is the Socialist way. </sarcasm>
