Comments on: Should the Frost Family be Eligible For State Children’s Health Insurance? http://pjmedia.com/blog/should_the_frost_family_be_eli/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:13:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dr Coles http://pjmedia.com/blog/should_the_frost_family_be_eli/#comment-14651 Dr Coles Thu, 11 Oct 2007 21:46:41 +0000 http://dev.pajamasmedia.com/blog/should-the-frost-family-be-eligible-for-state-childrens-health-insurance/#comment-14651 The government caused the problem with health care in America by over socializing medicine to the extent it is not completive, and we want to exacerbate the problem? Kids have health care. The needy already have health care. The U.S. is not a socialist state ( see <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2znnvl" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2znnvl</a> ). No one is entitled to be given a house, car, food or health care, etc. If we want these things, we have to earn them. The government does not earn money. Perhaps some of us should take a civics class and learn about America. We all have to labor for what we want. For those who need help there are the charities and state programs. We need to fix the health care issue but we cannot fix it unless we know how it is broken.

The state of Maryland effectively subsidized the Frosts commercial real estate investment. If they're meant to be representative recipients of the program, then it's a program that subsidizes middle class risk. And maybe that's not a program that taxpayers really want to fund. Using the 12 year old child as a distraction is inexcusable. The issue at stake here is whether or not there should means testing for subsidies.

The state does not create wealth, but only distributes it. God help us when people delude themselves that something is free. They immediately take advantage and become wasteful. The country is doomed once solidly middle class folks like the Frost family believes it is also entitled to welfare benefits. Allow me to be blunt: FDR's New Deal economic policies were wildly popular. The majority of American voters strongly supported them. Few understood their long-term destructiveness. Democrats and their selfish country club Republican allies lie to the voters similar to parents who tell their children that there is a Santa Claus and an Easter Bunny. This is why a Republican must be brave. They have to behave like adults and tell people what they prefer not to hear. Such is life. It's what has got to be done.

To take money from someone and give it to a family making 80K a year in order to buy votes is "Chavezian". SCHIP is disastrous pandering, and poorly executed disastrous pandering, at that.
