How come the S-CHIP bill won't give ME "free" health insurance?

Question

It's for CHILDREN. And I am someone's child. The bill would not allow "free" health insurance to any "child" over 26.

I may be an adult of 54 (just like legal adults of 26) but this bill prevents me from stealing your tax dollars to pay MY bills.

It's so unfairrrrrrrrrrr.

Answer 1

I want free stuff too!
Would Hillary's proposal to give $5,000 to every child born in the US be retroactive?
I like free stuff, I hope Hillary gets elected so the government gives me more reasons not to work anymore.
People also need transportation, homes and entertainment (for stress relief, which has been proven to be good for your health), so let's get those democrats elected, cause I think my transmission is starting to fail, and they are too expensive for me to be paying for.

Answer 2

It is very cheap to insure children. The only real risk of loss is accidents. If children have genetic disease or birth defects, often health insurers won't insure them, this is why life insurance doesn't go into effect until a baby is 30 days old. You, on the other hand are 54. My sister died in April at 54 after a battle with Cancer that the insurance company refused to treat because the test to prove it wasn't available from her participating provider. The only way the insurance companies or the government can make money, or keep many people employed is to not pay claims. Welcome to medical reality. In England, if you are 55 and need dialysis, you just die. Sorry my friend, we the elderly are just too expensive to keep alive. There are however, some very good hospice programs out there.

Answer 3

SCHIP still isn't free, it's reduced prices for child health care.

The leading cause of bankruptcy in this nation is health care.

Answer 4

You want to steal my tax dollars? Sounds unethical to me.

Answer 5

don't worry you qualify for plenty federal programs plus only a few more years before you get a huge return on you minuscule payment to social security.
