More problems for the GOP and the Administration... And I admire both families..
Thinkprogress:
The family that the right wing wanted to “destroy” tells their story on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Bonnie Frost explained her view on the right-wing attacks:
They seemed to use this as a distraction technique to take away the issue at hand. And that is that millions of children in America are without health insurance and could benefit greatly from the SCHIP bill. Just like my family has.
My main goal is to get that message across that we just want to help other families like we have been helped. And just thinking that it was turned around in such a nasty, negative way is unbelievable to me.
And here is another child that benefitted from SCHIP:
Two years ago, when Bethany Wilkerson was born with a serious heart problem, private insurance wouldn’t help her. Without SCHIP, Bethany might not be here today
The last SCHIP family to go public about the value of the health insurance program — the Frosts — was smeared by the right wing. The Wilkersons said today they aren’t scared of the attacks that may come against them:
The Wilkersons said they are fully aware of the possibility that their finances and personal lives may be investigated by opponents of the SCHIP bill.
“We rent a house, we have one car that is a junker. Let them dig away,” Bo Wilkerson said. “I have $67 in my checking account. Does that answer your question?”

It's a sad day for the United States of American when children have to beg for help. We gave Billions to others and build a brige to nowhere but can't give American children health care. What an example to the world. Other countries less richer then the US have free Health Care for all their citizens.
