SCHIP Scam
Let me once again remind you of the quote that currently resides in this blog’s header:
“A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it’s going to get.† Ian Williams Goddard
Now perhaps you won’t be quite so surprised by John Stephenson’s post, The “Not So Poor†12 Year Old Voice of SCHIP, a roundup of reactions from various bloggers. John’s email blurb describing the nut of the post:
If you haven’t heard about this one yet, please share. 12 year old Graeme Frost of Maryland got to do the Democrats’ radio address, in which he told his story of how he and his sister were seriously injured in a car accident, and if it hadn’t been for SCHIP, they wouldn’t be here today. Turns out there is more to the story. First, Mr. Halsey Frost, Graeme’s father, owns his own woodworking design studio, Frostworks, so his claim that he can’t get health insurance through work is shockingly deceptive. He chooses not to get health care for his family. Second, Graeme and his sister Gemma attend the very exclusive Park School, which has a tuition of $20,000 a year, per child. Third, they live in a 3,000+ square foot home in a neighborhood with smaller homes that are selling for at least $400,000.
Re-read the Goddard quote, then read John’s post. Oh, and for some thoughtful analyses of some media hyped stories and conspiracy theories, check out Goddard’s site as well.
