Government trying to dictate health care issues has a long history of

What does spending half a trillion on a vague war fix? What has it
gotten us thus far?

Look
at the messes (long queues and poor care) in Canada and Great Britain.
Prices here are high now because the is no competition. Health care
should be a private enterprise, not state sponsored and mandated.

The Children's Health Insurance Program is by no means a mandate for
state run healthcare as you portray it. It is for families with kids
who don't qualify for Medicaid but can't afford health insurance
otherwise. The horror.

More personal insults. What a surprise. You want to compare IQ's? name
your test.

You really are insecure, aren't you?!?

What are the reasons they can't afford the coverage? Could it be
cigarettes, beer, bass boat, $30K pickup truck, mortgage, trips to
casino, golf, shopping at the mall, cable TV with premium
channels, ................ etc etc etc? Living large and not meeting
real responsibilites? Insurance for children in nominal. The reason
these middle class people are not getting it is because they choose to
do so. What we don't need is another "entitlement" program. This is
one more incremental step toward socialized medicine.

You nailed it, Ken. In Oregon, Blue Cross's BEST plan for a child is
$90. If a family cannot afford that, then they qualify for assistance
for the whole family, not just the child. Insuring your child is
usually a matter of priorities, not economics.
