They define poor as a family of four making less the $80K. Gimmie a Break. This is the first step to socilized medicine. The Democrats define a kid less than the age of 25!

The Democrats I come to expect this type of legislation and if it were not because of the Democrats, this bill WOULD NOT be currently in the process of being passed by both the House and Senate.

There were enough conservatives that are too scared of being labeled as someone who took "medicine away from poor children" to give it a huge margin. Not to mention it is fairly pork laden and I believe 25 is still considered "poor children" according to the articles I read. Both parties sold us out on this one.

Te liberals will start taxing liquor, twinkies, cake, ice cream, etc. Anything unhealthy will get taxed. Remember, congress knows best! They want to thnk for you and control your life style. Well, I say, BS! Stop the madness! Write your congressmen and tell them you don't want your ciagrs taxed! As you can see, I am still fired up. The answer is simple.

What happens with the cigarette smokers decrease their habit? Where is the money going to come from then when these sources of tax revenue dry up because of those examples above? Unlike cigarette smokers, cigar smoking is not a habit and cigar smokers don't need that daily fix. One question I don’t hear asked, what happens when all the cigar smokers stop smoking?

Where is the money going to come from then when these sources of tax revenue dry up because of those examples above?

Unlike cigarette smokers, cigar smoking is not a habit and cigar smokers don’t need that daily fix.

They are starting with the "poor" kids and will work their way up to "poor" adults, etc. National healthcare is a mistake and a topic for a differnt blog. The point with SCHIP is congress has now identified a target group for financing any one of their liberal ideas. The cigar smoker! They want your money! We lack the numbers to be an effective voice against this discrimination. Therefore, wriet your congressmen and tell them to look for funding somewhere else. I believe Bush and it will be vetoed, but what is next! So wriet your congressmen and vote Republican next November. Thanks for letting me vent. I am going to go light one up.

As the saying goes, we couldn't afford the last two letters of the word. This is just a blatant attempt to push through socialized medicine, poorly masked as helping poor children. Sorry, you make 60K? You buy your own damn health insurance. I do! Wanna sure way to know when you're about to be screwed? Any time you hear a politician talking about children, it's time to grab the K-Y. I love talking politics on other people's blogs. :) It’s funny, my family always had health insurance (health care is what you get when you’re sick, health insurance is one way of paying for that service), and we were dirt po’.

But 82k? Um, that's plenty for a family of four anywhere. Ridiculous laws passed by more politicians that lie and steal. RON PAUL!
