If the SCHIP program is such good insurance for middle class kids, the Congresscritters and the staff of those who vote for it ought to be required to sign their children up for it. Otherwise, it's a crock.

* FYI, in most states, the SCHIP program is basically the same as Medicaid — full of red tape and restrictions on providing quality care.
o There’s lots of clinics that don’t take it, or severely limit access to care by one means or another. This is likely to get worse if SCHIP passes in it’s current format.
o Putting more folks into the Medicaid treadmill is only going to make it harder for the truly needy on Medicaid to get timely care as the middle class starts cutting in line for their care.
* Hence the suggestion that those in Congress and staff ought to experience that which they wrought. If it’s good enough for the middle class, it ought to be good enough for Congress.

If it's such a good idea, feel free to add yourself and any other supporters to the list of folks who will crowd the Medicaid lines with their kids.
