More of the Same from Sen. Mitch McConnell

Terri Whitehouse October 8th, 2007

Sen. Mitch McConnell has reintroduced his inaptly-named Kids First legislation. As we have previously posted, this legislation would actually harm children and families. In case you need a reminder, please read the primer provided by Families USA. McConnell’s bill would:

  • Increase the number of uninsured children.
  • Take away states’ control over eligibility standards.
  • Throw CHIP money out the window.
  • Encourage people to buy high-deductible coverage that does not adequately provide health coverage for children.

    I like SCHIP and KCHIP and we should expand both of them. We have our kids on our health insurance policy. I doubt a middle class family could drop their kids off their health insurance and make the kids uninsured to qualify the kids for KCHIP. Where does “Mitch” come up with these things?

    Take a look at that bunch of GOP co-sponsors who support Mitch’s corrupt plan.

    Heckuva Job, GOP.

    I love the unicorn museum! Even more believable than the Creation museum.
