This bill expands a good program far beyond its original intent. and opens the door to government controlled healthcare. The SCHIP program was created 10 years ago under a Republican led Congress to fill a gap of uninsured. lowincome children whose families fell into a salary bracket too high to receive funds under Medicaid. This bill. however. takes this money and gives it to adults. illegal immigrants. and children whose parents are currently making up to $82.000 a year. This bill would encourage more and more children to move from private health care to health care coverage from the Federal government. According to the Congressional Budget Office. as many as two million children would make this shift.
