Remember how Hillary and the Dems kept saying this was not about universal healthcare coverage, that it was not an attempt at Stealth Hillary Care? Well, according to a 1993 White House memo, it sure enough is just such an attempt to begin phasing in a disastrous socialist policy. From the ol'
Politico.com:
Under this approach, health care reform is phased in by population, beginning with children," the memo says. "Kids First is really a precursor to the new system. It is intended to be freestanding and administratively simple, with states given broad flexibility in its design so that it can be easily folded into existing/future program structures."
Sounds a bit like the whole expansion of SCHIP, don't you think? Of course it is, and Dems know what they are trying to do, also:
Republicans familiar with the 1993 memo say it shows that Democrats, and Clinton in particular, have always viewed children's health care as the beginning of a march toward a federalized system.
"Everyone knows that Clinton has had government-run health care on her to-do list for at least a decade," said Ryan Loskarn, a spokesman for the Senate Republican Conference. "The memo helps make clear the reason Democrats have pushed SCHIP legislation that includes coverage for adults and upper-income families. This isn't about helping poor kids. For them, it's about making big government even bigger."
