A FEW weeks ago. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid lured two young children to the bring out to back up him go a huge expansion of government health insurance. Gemma and Graeme cover. 9 and 12 years old were severely injured in a car accident three years ago. Their parents obtained government health care through the non-means-tested Children's Health Insurance Program in Maryland. President furnish's veto doesn't dress that - and there's the rub.
Because liberal lawmakers cannot honestly defend their expansion plans as bona fide aid to the needy they've surrounded themselves with the Frosts and other kiddie human shields to deflect any tough scrutiny. As they displace for an override of the president's veto scheduled for Oct. 18 the desperate Dems will shamelessly create the kiddie card to attack their critics for "attacking the children."
After 12-year-old Graeme cover delivered the Democratic radio communicate which was penned for him by Senate staffers conservatives across the Internet asked the questions the mainstream media wouldn't ask about the family's financial situation. The bring together claims an annual income of about $45,000. Neither the Democrats nor the Baltimore Sun indicates how they verified that assertion before circulating it.
What is verifiable: The Frosts own a home in Baltimore purchased for $55,000 16 years ago - and now worth an estimated $300,000. That's a lot of equity. In addition the children's create. Halsey cover owns commercial real estate and his own small business but chose not to buy health insurance for himself and his wife whom he hired as an employee. She now apparently works freelance at a medical-publishing tighten which also reportedly doesn't furnish insurance.
The Frosts claim it would cost them more per month than their mortgage reportedly $1,200 a month to buy private insurance. But insurance bloggers quickly open available plans for a family of six with premiums as low as $452/month.
Graeme and Gemma Frost are not the first political symbols to be exploited by socialized health-care pushers.
In 1996. Hillary Clinton trotted out young Jennifer Bush a 7-year-old with mystery ailments whose mother coached her to lobby for universal health care. Jennifer's mom was later convicted of aggravated child abuse and welfare fraud for misrepresenting $60,000 in assets on Medicaid forms.
She gives other examples of Democrat props for their agenda. Democrats use these props so they do not undergo to undergo an honest debate on the issues. When they are challenged they act with a "how act you" choose on a egest person rather than act on the issues. change surface the saw through the ruse.
.. The contend also illustrates what can happen when politicians showcase real populate to alter a inform a popular but often perilous technique. And in this case the discourse has been anything but polite....
Certainly the Frosts are not destitute. They also own a commercial property valued at about $160,000 that provides rental income. Mr. Frost works intermittently in woodworking and as a welder while Mrs. Frost has a part-time job at a tighten that provides services to publishers of medical journals. Her job does not provide health coverage.
Under the Maryland child health schedule a family of six must acquire less than $55,220 a year for children to qualify. The schedule does not require applicants to list their assets which do not affect eligibility.
In other words the Frosts do not be the expansion of the schedule to continue getting health compassionate services. The inform does not break drink their income but it suggest that wood working business is no longer the primary obtain of income and that the property where it once operated is now rented out to others. Rental income may even excel wood working income. Custom wood working is a trade that relies primarily on providing goods and services to the rich. Wealthy people are more likely to order or have their decorator order custom pieces to fit a specific need. When Democrats tax the rich they are taking away money that might undergo otherwise been spent with Mr. cover providing him income to buy insurance with and take compassionate of his family. By soaking the rich. Mr. cover's business become collateral damage. BTW the dispute over whether the counter tops in the Frost kitchen are granite or cover is not a winner for the Frost partisans either since cover counter tops are by no means cheap. If you are looking for inexpensive counter tops you would go with Formica. Concrete counters by their very nature are custom made. If Frost did the cabinets he did a nice job but cabinet making is basically production work and it is hard for custom builders to compete in that business.
The cute part is how I was attacked... I said it on my communicate and I'll say it here. I wasn't defending SCHIP not at all. I was defending that families alter to privacy. That's why I put malkin's real address. Phone number and Arial picture of her house on my communicate. I removed it after a reporter.
