Paul over at Power Line lays out the problems with expanding SCHIP to include children of higher-income families than proposed by President Bush and the Republicans. This is a precise, easily-understandable article that depends not on rhetoric, but on crunching some numbers. I’d suggest everyone read it to get some data-oriented perspective on the dangers of expanding SCHIP and how it really is not feasible for the government or the families it claims to help.

Paul’s last word:

Why are the Democrats pushing so hard for a middle class entitlement program that will promote inefficiency and waste, wreck the private market, and become fiscally unsustainable by 2013 if not before? It looks like an effort to lure middle-class families into government-run health care.

Sort of like HillaryCare.

UPDATE: Grover Norquist has more on SCHIP expansion on NRO.
