Poor American workers, who either do not have, can't have or their children are above 18 are deprived of access to the problem the Frosts are able to game to have their health insurance gratis. Not only do they live in a house that is worth half a million, they hide the fact that they collect rent on part of their business property. I have to wonder if either of the parents, especially F. Halsey Frost collects a trust fund. His father has the money to provide funding to Princeton, and to blow on luxuries. Poor Americans are forced to borrow from struggling relatives, but rich spoiled brats like F. Halsey Frost are allowed to leech off the system because he acts irresponsibly. The democratic leaders in the congres can't be bothered to address the realities of those truly suffering. Truly poor and struggling Americans are told to sell their junker cars and go without transportation to find some money to pay for medical care. I know of a family where the husband and father died of a cancer, he had been waiting for an organ transplant and was seriously ill, who was denied the state coverage because his daughter was 18, despite the fact that he was too ill to work, and was denied the care of the specialist he needed at the public hospital. The expansion of the CHIP program, of which the Frost family, are a clear example of the problems that exist which allow the system to be gamed, will only serve to continue a two tiered system that is too easily exploitable and will continue a rationale to not address those most suffering. But then again, the same democratic leaders who weep crocodile tears about poor illegal aliens (and find their coffer filled by corporate elites, and corrupt foreign nationals) rationalize policies that abandon poor and the declining middle classes who are black, brown and white to destitution. It's the reason the majority of democratic voters are anticipating voting for republicans, not greens or other hypocritical third parties. Democrats have abandoned any and all credibility, and if we have to vote for a republican, we might as well vote for those who are willing to admit it. So be snide, the only ones who listen to you are the every decreasing number of those who live above the glass ceiling.

The school costs $15K a year, but the family only pays $500 a year. 2) His sister Gemma attends another private school to help her with the brain injuries that occurred due to her accident. The school costs $23,000 a year, but the state pays the entire cost. 3) They bought their “lavish house” sixteen years ago for $55,000 at a time when the neighborhood was less than safe. 4) Last year, the Frosts made $45,000 combined. Over the past few years they have made no more than $50,000 combined. 5) The state of Maryland has found them eligible to participate in the CHIP program.

If these kids are both on full scholarships they could afford the insurance. If not they are choosing bad priorities. Public school no good, but public health care suck it up.

It is through domestic programs that they buy votes. It's called putting power before country. Then they trot out a family of 6 who live a life that most middle class families would love to say, poor me, I can't buy medical insurance. A person who owns their own business can write off the cost of medical insurance from their taxes. The Dems opposition to the war is all about money for their domestic programs.

A nice home, private school for the kids, a kitchen remodel (with granite counters), their own business, dressed in rags, and living on a mere $5,000 a year. And, poor Graeme, he can't get medical treatment because all the money is going to that war in Iraq. A war which we were misled by the bad President Bush. Yeah, right. Can you spell A-U-D-I-T?

That would have paid for the accident outcome before SCHIP. Also were the kids wearing seat belts? A whole lot more in the comments on the thread at FR. Brought to you via Family Matters another Soros funded issue machine. Maryland requires medical coverage in your auto insurance on the vehicle.
