Senate Passes Health Insurance Bill for Children

[steve_spackman]

The Senate overwhelmingly approved legislation yesterday to provide health insurance to 11 million low-income children, a bill that would for the first time spend federal money to cover children and pregnant women who are legal immigrants. The State Children's Health Insurance Program, which is aimed at families earning too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private insurance, currently covers close to 7 million youngsters at a cost of $25 billion.
Lawmakers voted 66 to 32, largely along party lines, to renew the joint state-federal program and spend an additional $32.8 billion to expand coverage to 4 million more children. The expansion would be paid for by raising the cigarette tax from 39 cents a pack to $1.


Obama is doing a good job thus far...

you must live in fear mate..i really think you do

Fear is instilled in us at an early age and infects our perceptions throughout our lives. We are taught to be afraid of crime, afraid of losing our jobs, afraid of AIDS, afraid of immigrants, afraid of the Russians (or the Muslims), afraid of terrorism, afraid of chaos, afraid of failure, afraid of not being loved, afraid of going to hell. All these apprehensions are seized on and magnified by the media, the government, the corporations and the Church, whipping us into a frenzy of fear.
Those in power use fear to manipulate and control us. Fear makes us the instruments of Power. When we are afraid, we obey. When we are afraid, we will do anything to feel safer.
Afraid of crime? Hire more police and build more prisons.
Afraid of unemployment? Work harder.
Afraid of AIDS? Don't have sex.
Afraid of immigrants? Keep them out.
Afraid of foreigners? Bomb the hell out of them.
Afraid of terrorism? Restrict civil liberties.
Afraid of chaos? Support the status quo.
Afraid of failure? Don't take chances.
Afraid of being alone? Conform.
Afraid of going to hell? Obey the Church.
