Libertarians..
With all the talk of Ron Paul, no comment on this "editorial?"
S-chip is not being extended. Congress is trying to expand S-chip.
They want to extend coverage to families that are 400% above the poverty level and the bill re-labels as "children" anyone under the age of 25. 25! It also taxes private insurance a "fair share" tax so that it can fund a new government agency that will study the "comparative effectiveness' of various medical treatments." Since Congress has a new pay as you go rule, where is all this expansion coming from? Congress proposed to do away with Medicare Advantage, which allows poor seniors to choose from various private health care plans. This is not health care for children. It's a subsidy for middle-class families at the expense of poor seniors and it's an experiment in expanding government-provided health care, while impacting a program that promotes competition in the private sectors. Coverage for people at 400% of the poverty level!!! Come on. This is all election politicking so that politicians can say they voted to shore up children's health care. It's back-door expansion of government welfare!
Knee-jerk, uninformed liberalism at its best. I guess it's not limited to the Editor.
