As many of us have said before, the S-CHIP program is just another way to bring universal health care into America. Democrats have used the S-CHIP purely for political reasons, and this audio clip/transcript shows exactly what their plans are.
"I think there is going to be a commitment to universal coverage. I
don’t think it’s necessarily going to be a sector by sector process. I
think you either need to go in whole hog or not. We tried to sort of
squeeze the middle here with doing children and doing seniors, and
trying to squeeze it. If anything happens, it would more likely look
something like this: you would extend eligibility for children from
200% of poverty to 300% of poverty, and create resources to insure the
parents of those children."
