The battle-SCHIP is just the start

October 9, 2007

News flash – Democrats are realizing that not everyone sees health care their way:

If Democrats and Republicans had so much difficulty agreeing on a plan to cover 10 million children, most of them from low-income families, how can they ever agree on legislation to guarantee insurance for 250 million or 300 million people?

Don’t assume that universal coverage is the shared goal. Many conservatives have been opposed to any SCHIP expansions covering adults. Apparently they are fine with service workers, self-employed, or young parents going without insurance. Ironic, since there are excellent macroeconomic arguments for having these adults covered.
