Following up on the Kill the Bill rally post yesterday--there's one today at noon as well.
Yes, I'm in the video. I didn't want to get into a great deal of detail with the woman objecting to our stance. I told her the state of Illinois does cover health care for children. I would add but it's one of the things our impeached Governor Blago pushed through in a questionable manner. It's not means-tested.
Is this the best use of our tax dollars? Because Illinois is bankrupt. (And if we push ObamaCare through the country will be too.) And as I've said before--what good are all these promises if we can't keep them?
What good is a nanny state if it doesn't take care of us?
What good is a government that treats us like slaves on its plantation?
More. Instapundit link to Marcus' video. Where's my instalanche? Sigh.
...I think I'd better take a break soon.
UPDATE: Marcus crossposted at Big Government.
More. Arizona Kills SCHIP. Via Potluck:
States go bankrupt if they stay in. (But what if they're already bankrupt? And run by dumb Dems)The reason this is so troubling, of course, is that the new proposed health care plan gets about half of its coverage expansion through adding people to Medicaid. The state side of this expense doesn’t show up on the books as a government expenditure (neatly enabling the bill to get a lower CBO score), but someone in America has to be taxed to pay for it, and there is a big problem when tax revenues fall short of the required expenditure.
