The Real Goal of the SCHIP Expansion
This article gets to the real reason why Democrats are trying to expand the SCHIP program and it isn’t to help poor children.
More than 1.9 million American children will be taken off of private health insurance and moved to government health care if Congress approves expansions to the SCHIP program sought by Congressional Democrats
Almost two million families who currently can afford and do provide healthcare for their families will be eligible and will receive free healthcare. Of course the healthcare isn’t free, you and I will be paying for it.
Expanding the SCHIP program could also cause employers to scale back or eliminate workers’ health benefits
Do you see what is going on here? The government is in the process of providing healthcare that private companies now provide for their employees, or that people are buying themselves. This is a transfer of responsibility to the government. This is a government dependency expansion program.
Big government, nanny state, liberal Democrats are beginning to take responsibility away from the parents and are transferring that responsibility to the government. Democrats believe that they can provide for our families better than we can provide for them ourselves.
The only reason to expand the SCHIP program to include children of people who already have healthcare is to take more control away from the parents. Slowly but surely that is exactly what is happening in America. The Democrats want as many people dependent on government as possible to insure a permanent voting base, and this is part of that effort.
In the rush by the people to grab all the entitlements that they can, does anybody stop to ask the question, is this what our government is supposed to provide? Was this the intent the founding fathers had for our government?
America's Watchtower 
I’ve always felt it was dangerous to allow the government to offer services that private enterprise does. Government’s job is to oversee, regulate, and create laws, and when it also adds services, it is a harsh conflict of interest. Insurance providers pay huge sums into the tax system, competiting with them will cost jobs, and tax revenues… which will have to come from somewhere…

You have probably heard the parable of how to catch wild hogs, but I would like to point out how well it applies to this situation. This one and the so called stimulus bill and innumerable other Social Democrat schemes. The story can be found over at “Democrat Equals Socialist, as well as many places on the net. If you are interested.

Part of the reason why I like cliches is that they are based in fact. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, you get what you pay for. True, and true. Are people so lazy that they will give up control of their own flesh and blood to get a little cheese? How sad, selling out, with no fame.
