So here is why I am frustrated. I want to know about SCHIP, so I read a bunch of news stories on it (from newspapers all over the political spectrum -- isn't Google News wonderful). However, all they told me was what politicians said about it. For example, Bush and Bohner, said it allows health care to illegal aliens, takes health care away from private insurance companies, and covers adults and families making over 80K. Pelosi and Reid said the opposite. Why can't some journalists read the bill and tell me who is telling the truth -- complete with quotes from the bills to support their conclusions. I would read the bill myself if I had the time, but I don't. Given however, that jounalists get paid to report, you would think that someone would actually read the bill and tell me what it really says.
