This takes the cake. Now they're proposing to insure children whose families earn up to $80,000.00
And the middle class making much less will be footing the bill for more socialism.
tsk tsk tsk
======================
Tobacco Tax: Senate Democrats will unveil in a markup this Friday a tobacco tax increase that would, in theory, pay for the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) they want to expand to include children in families making up to $80,000.
It is easy enough to raise taxes on a minority like cigarette smokers, but collections of such taxes will not remain consistent, since they tend to depress smoking. It will, however, bolster Republican arguments that Democrats are raising taxes.
===============
If ANY family is making $80,000.00 and can't take care of their own children's health care....something is VERY wrong....or they're liberals/progressives who want everything at the expense of someone else.
