Comments on: Bush to Kids on Health Care: Drop Dead http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/2007/09/27/bush-to-kids-on-health-care-drop-dead/ A Hollywood Tradition Since 2004 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:19:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: HL http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/2007/09/27/bush-to-kids-on-health-care-drop-dead/#comment-65926 HL Tue, 02 Oct 2007 17:18:24 +0000 http://www.thehollywoodliberal.com/2007/09/27/bush-to-kids-on-health-care-drop-dead/#comment-65926 This is from the article you linked to <strong>The claim: The proposal would allow coverage of families earning $83,000. The facts: The bill essentially sets an income ceiling of three times the poverty rate for a family of four -- $61,950. Beyond that, the federal government would not pay a state its full SCHIP match, which averages about 70 percent. </strong> Believe it or not $61,350 is not a lot of money for a family of 4 to live on. It's barely over $15,000 per person per year, that is just about the poverty level. If a family making that kind of money had good health insurance they would not have to take advantage of the SCHIP plan. If both parents are working and making just over 30K, their health plans probably suck, if they have one at all. So the bill would help those families out. This is from the article you linked to

What William G told you wasn't a lie. Here it is from CBS News, The Bush administration says the legislation could qualify some New York families of four making about $83,000 a year, or four times the poverty level. Not to mention HL that the tax increase on tobacco with affect the poor since more poor and lower class income smoke than higher income. http://www.startribune.com/587/story/1448376.html HL once again you are wrong.

I had it when i was a kid. My family lived on $13K a year in 1989 and all us kids (there was 5 of us) had free health care. This Children's health care package is the first step to a natonal health care, that means that you HL would be respondsable for paying the taxes that pay for my daughter. I don't think that is fair to you, after all, is not my little girl my responsibility? what i find kinda funny bout this fight over children’s health care is that it is aready in place.

Savage (whose real name is Weiner by the way) is the biggest douchebag on radio. Don't be coming on here with those lies anymore. So it is a lie then.

This SCHIP bill is taking away more of my money. Did you know that families making 82,000 a year which is 400 percent over the povertyy line would be covered. Show me where in the constitution where it says that healthcare should be socialized. I hope Bush vetoes this As usual you are cherrypicking information.
