| Quote | "By making it explicit that federal S-CHIP dollars will fund programs up to 300 percent of the poverty line (and occasionally even higher) and by throwing an additional $35 billion at the program throughout the next five years, the Democratic bill guarantees the program will grow well beyond its original purpose of insuring “near-poor” kids. This makes sense only as a step toward national health insurance for kids."
