Politics - the S-CHIP Bill
This is an apparent satire of the S-CHIP Bill that President Bush vetoed.
Unfortunately, it seems to state exactly what the bill would do...
Unfortunately, it seems to state exactly what the bill would do...
It is from a blog called the Minority Report:
"'My Fellow Senators,' 'I intend to insure people 25 years old and call it Children’s Health Insurance. I intend to extend benefits to people making $83,000 per year in income in the name of fighting poverty. I intend to extend these benefits to non-citizens residing either legally or illegally in the country. Letting more people drop anchor babies makes America a better neighbor.' 'I intend for this program to be 72% more expensive per recipient to operate. Not enough money has been wasted to put this program in the major leagues. We sure know how to take care of that in a jiffy.' 'And to make this program a perfect symbol of the new era of American Government, we’ll finance much of this debacle by taxing a group of consumers who are addicted to a narcotic.'"
