SCHIP: A Hammer against Blue state Republicans

ILLUSTRATED: Ironically, Democrats can illustrate a need for government involvement because they are often coming form a position of wealth.

In an earlier post, I described some of the ironies that some from the fact the Democrats often represent wealthier locales, and higher cost of living locales than Republicans. This is even though Democrats generally support government's hand in helping those left out of capitalist system. Additionally, I defined the real meaning of "All politics is local", the most misused phrase in politics. Thus, members of Congress will be influenced by the wealth of their power base, even though their personal ideology may be for more or less government.

With this SCHIP vote, states would be supported by the feds for supporting children's health insurance factored on the uniform federal poverty level. As we all know, a dollar stretches further in certain parts of the country than others. So as Tom Curry described, a lot of Republicans from wealthy blue areas like New York City, have to vote with Democrats to expand health insurance to families making over $60,000.

Let's be honest, these issues are touchy and one can sound flippant when discussing them. But if there is a Republican candidate (at any level) running in a high cost of living area, we need to hammer them on this issue.
