Poor kids with cancer?
No, but how about the 35 year olds sitting in a condo/apartment watching Oprah and soaps all day in the government section-8 high rises (and their families, and the previous generation of that family) get a job?
35 YEAR OLDS DON'T QUALIFY FOR CHIP YOU FUCKING MORON!

Not true.
No one wants abuses in the system. That goes for welfare, housing and defense spending.
Stop making this a partisan issue.
If you don't want abuses in the system, then why aren't YOU calling for more auditing. The abuses are there. You just figure you'll keep asking for more funding CONSTANTLY and let the other side ask for auditing? You tell me. I've never hear a democrat or liberal tell me we need to concentrate on making the system tighter.
Had to drag Bill Clinton kicking and screaming into government reform and him FINALLY saying after a big loss "The era of big government is over". Why do liberals have to be dragged kicking and screaming into making things more efficient? Do you ever write your democrat congressperson about more auditing or just about "protecting" social programs?

Thank you for finally saying it, Senator Hatch.It's become an epidemic of laziness at this point.
You want kids to work for their health insurance? It’s hard enough to get them to clean their rooms.

Of course this thread is about children's health insurance. Far be it from you to EVER ask for more individual responsibility. Just grow money on trees or take it from "the rich" for what ever you want.
When the rich no longer exist, then re-define "the rich" to lower and lower incomes. ANYTHING to keep the welfare state going. ANYTHING.
