Yes to both alternatives - scared and flawed. This is politics at its worst. You get health premium assistance for your children if you make $60K a year? A whole new tranche of entitlements. That's why Bush quashed this thing months ago. Open to illegals? I'd fight a border war to get these kinds of benefits for my family. Maybe even give up smoking. God forbid I should work hard to achieve the American dream. I'd be better off to make $45K max a year and get tax rebates and benefits (health care, college tuition, etc.) for free. It will give freedom a bad name. Simply is not the word for it. Yes to both alternatives – scared and flawed. This is politics at its worst.

They raise the tax on cigarettes therefore making it possible for more people to get their kids on lower income insurance plans. Then the cigarette companies will start struggling thus having to lay people off, thus leaving more low income familes uninsured. You gotta love how they never think anything through.

Why would we relax our requirements over documenting citizenship more than what it already is? Don't we have enough illegal immigrants in our country taking the jobs that millions of unemployed Americans could be benefiting from.
