Another thing on Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' speech was an admission that the Republicans have been right all along on the Democratic Congress' motives in expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
"We know that caring for our children, so they have a healthy and better start in life, is what grownups do," she said. "Governors in both parties, and a large majority of the Congress are ready, right now, to provide health care to 10 million American children, as a first step in overhauling our health care system. Join us, Mr. President, sign the bill and let's get to work." [emphasis added]
To everyone who was pooh-poohing Republican concerns that the SCHIP expansion was a first step towards single-payer, government-run health care system: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that people aren't out to get you.
