Raisin’ Brows – SCHIP Bill

Call it bad timing, the passing of the SCHIP bill has been met with both praise and disdain from both fronts. Many see it as the start of the “CHANGE”, President Obama has promised but many counter that it steers taxpayer dollars towards muddled waters. First, the bill is indeed quite broad with not much in terms of control with who or who doesn’t get coverage from State sponsored health care. The bill simply states that all children who’s family falls under a certain income bracket that used to be considered the gap between having health care and not, whoever they may be.
Imagine an Illegal Immigrant who gains entry into the US with 12 children, who pays for their care, the taxpayer of course. criticized as being too rushed into passing there are holes that need mending before it becomes acceptable to all. But during times when all news seems to be bad, a little good news won’t hurt anyone and with Americans seeing this recession resulting in their having to lose their jobs, at least they can still get health care for their children as the rough road ahead plays on.
