Along the same line, <a href="http://porkopolis.blogspot.com/2007/03/state-childrens-health-insurance.html" rel="nofollow">a while back I posted</a> on the proposed expansion of SCHIP by one advocate in Denver and noted: ...Ms. Susan Molina of Denver (the single-mother, activist and subject of the Ms. Rovner's NPR report) has testified before Congress and supports benefits for families up to 300% of the federal poverty guidelines (see Table: 2006 HHS POVERTY GUIDELINES) of $16,600 for a family of 3. With that policy, a family like Ms. Molina's (1 parent, 2 children) would be eligible for assistance while still having an income up to $49,800 (300% of $16,600). $49,800 is more than the $47,250 the Economic Policy Institute found (see figure B and Table 1) would be needed for the basic budget of a family of 4 (2 parents, 2 children) in Denver, Colorado which includes health care!...

It's catchy. I like it. I’m going to suggest that conservatives take your cue and start referring to the SCHIP expansion as “ParisCare.” It’s catchy. I like it.

Tom Blumer at BizzyBlog points out that families with income in excess of $100,000 or more can qualify for BullSCHIP. In California, then, it appears (based on Democracy Project’s inquiry) that there’s nothing stopping a trust fund baby, if their ONLY income comes from investment returns (i.e., it’s “unearned”), from qualifying for SCHIP! Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie could sit at home and stop boring us with their TV show, appearances, and commercials, have babies by any number of entourage members, and join in the SCHIP party.
