Let's start at the beginning.
The 2009 Congress was barely two weeks old when the profligate spending started. Under the title of "CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2009" Congressman McMahon and his fellow House Dems, led by the Nancy Pelosi, voted to re-authorize the Children's Health Insurance Program, a bill that was designed to provide health insurance to poor kids whose families could not afford to procure it themselves.
One problem, though, with this bill. It EXPANDS the program to include "children" up to the age of 30, and "poor" families that earn up to $78,000. That's right, YOUR MONEY will help pay for health insurance for a 30-year-old "child" whose parents earn 78 grand a year. Beautiful.
You know what it really is, don't you? It's a down payment on socialized medicine.
