A Good Start
January 31st, 2009
SCHIP passed in the Senate on Thursday, and no trouble is expected in the House. I’m not sure John McCain would have vetoed the bill had he been elected (he wasn’t), but he did vote against it. In fact, only 9 Republican senators voted for it (Gregg was not one of them). That has to be the outside number we’re working with, in terms of hopeful crossovers, because if you won’t vote to give children health care, I’m not really sure what you will vote for.
Update: It also appears that the internet is stealing my lines.

Why do people keep having Children they can not support?
Is it the Governments job to take care of everyone?

I don’t think it’s the government’s job to take care of everyone. Technically speaking, SCHIP expanded care to more kids, not every kid, or every person. And we are the only developed nation without universal health care, so I don’t think making sure everyone is insured is some radical position.
I received a modest scholarship from the Governor of California and besides Harvard I’ve only gone to public universities, which are usually less expensive than private schools. So, some help, I suppose. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

NO one said your position was radical. I just asked 3 questions
What about my first question.

AS to the Scholarship from the Governor,
YOu may consider paying it back as you have more money that the State of California. LOL
