The House passed SCHIP last night but they do not have enough votes to overide a Presidential Veto. Rep. Charles Rangel admitted druing the debate what it was all about Socialized Medicine and expansion of a government run program and they would use the kids for political cover.
"It hardly matters that the expansion would be expensive or a step toward socialized health care, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said during the House debate. When lawmakers go home, he said, "the question is, Were you with the kids or were you not?""
It is time we tell congress to reauthorize the currently great SCHIP program and not hold our kids hostage for an attempt for Socialized Medicine.
