The move to stop the expansion of SCHIP seems obstructionist to me. I don't think it was an unreasonable increment to the current approach to health care. It certainly was preferable to a total disruption and conversion to single-payer. I don't know how many of the subset of the 46 million who don't have insurance because it is unaffordable it would have covered but if we could get them covered, it seems to me we've solved the universal aspect of the problem. I think the failure of that legislation was a phyrric victory and we will end up regretting it.
