OK. I know what this legislation is. I would question its wisdom, especially given our budget deficit and national debt. Novak is a bit heavy on hyperbole, but this is likely a phased approach towards socialized medicine. Expanding health insurance coverage to kids in poor and working poor families is noble, though a government program like this likely won't solve anything. I think the Dems should have stuck to a simple extension of the existing program instead of getting greedy and expanding it. BTW, this wasn't some super secret activity by the Dems as everyone knew the existing program was expiring. Dem's were predictably going to try to get more. They're weenies.
