An Immoral Philosophy: PAUL KRUGMAN; Apocalypse Here by PAUL KRUGMAN - THE NEW YORK TIMES Monday Jul 30th, 2007 6:52 AM KRUGMAN: What kind of philosophy says that its O.K. to subsidize insurance companies, but not to provide health care to children? THE COMPLETE ARTICLE AND MORE
--> Health Care An Immoral Philosophy By PAUL KRUGMAN Published: July 30, 2007 When a child is enrolled in the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (Schip), the positive results can be dramatic. For example, after asthmatic children are enrolled in Schip, the frequency of their attacks declines on average by 60 percent, and their likelihood of being hospitalized for the condition declines more than 70 percent. Regular care, in other words, makes a big difference. Thats why Congressional Democrats, with support from many Republicans, are trying to expand Schip, which already provides essential medical care to millions of children, to cover millions of additional children who would otherwise lack health insurance. But President Bush says that access to care is no problem After all, you just go to an emergency room and, with the support of the Republican Congressional leadership, hes declared that hell veto any Schip expansion on philosophical grounds. It must be about philosophy, because it surely isnt about cost. One of the plans Mr. Bush opposes, the one approved by an overwhelming bipartisan majority in the Senate Finance Committee, would cost less over the next five years than well spend in Iraq in the next four months. --MORE-- http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/07/immoral-philosophy-paul-krugman-health.html Posted by CRIMES AND CORRUPTION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS mparent7777 Marc Parent CCNWON Labels: Bush Children Health Insurance, Health Care, Health insurance, Insurance, kids, New York Times, News, PAUL KRUGMAN, Politics Who Really Took Over During That Colonoscopy: FRANK RICH - President Petraeus http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/07/who-really-took-over-during-that_30.html The Voters Speak: Baaa!: NICHOLAS KRISTOF http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/07/voters-speak-baaa-nicholas-kristof.html Apocalypse here http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/07/apocalypse-here.html CRIMES AND CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWSWIRE- JULY 29, 2007 http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/2007/07/crimes-and-corruptions-of-new-world_30.html AND MORE http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/ http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/blog/38 --------------------------------- Be smarter than spam.
