Call    her  at  970-663-3536 to voice your opinions re this medical childrens dilema.

Voice 'your  opinion' on the s-chip program for the poorest children [it shoulda said: parents, cause children don't pay the bills]  ... well.

WE  need to keep this program, by the way, since healthcare available now makes a healthy young adult, older teen s   in our  U.S. of A. who are also the     future   voters of the United States.  set the goals high..not sickly.

somethin mentioned re: families above $80,000 could be included in the program [that Mr. B. vetoes...? .having  NO ideas how low income people function=pay bills.]

This could be settled so simply if the law were passed allowing borderline income eligible families to CHOOSE  WHETHER OR NOT THEY WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN  THE OVER  borderline annual income limits.  I have a personal interest in this due to one of my daus' being 49$  over...so NO HELP   THEY  need this bill to be passed  to assist and aid  healthier children: asthmatic, anemic, or purging/cutting kids. 

  Please settle this simply by a 'volunteer' application to use these funds. I do not believe our 'system' would be GOVERNMENT RAN health care! Your concept of this idea is presented to the public wrong. It is bad enuff when medicaid kids get silver dental fillings and others, well, the white ones.

****####!!!%%   we should be wiser than that one..and simply extending the NEED based program on an ...  APPLY  if you need this...not ... 'DO this cause its the law? '  

     Our basic rights get too complicated with legislative complaints....We all know what kinda  m o n e y    is   goin overseas, so WHY NOT take care of OUR CHILDRENS needs is beyond me!  Bush  should blush at this one vetoe.

 Who can deny our children, the future  voting   citizens???? Have ya priced steak lately, it is in the $20 bracket, far above my budget. I started to drink powdered milk months ago.

Not all families will  apply, nor need THIS PROGRAM JUST because it could/would be passed into law. Make it so the government does NOT have control. duh!  Set   more flexible guidelines ...

...bottom line is the final decision is TO expand the income limit to $80,000.00    annual  - not every  'working' family, even has this income, believe me....[I know a lotta people livng on $648 per month]..$80,000.00  is about an average cost of  ONE  major/surgery/hospitalization to all hospitals, radiology, lab testing, rehab aftercare, etc. and to the doctors attending these unfortunate patients involved in a tragedy, accidental, or inherited disease....or a simple life-threatening asthma attack.

I know of one  of  our residents who is 89,   on  social security...in excellant health, and doesn't wish to have the medicare premium!  Make it an option, not a must... for others having diabetes, chronic or debilitating  illness,  would  'overuse' the costs available as opposed to the one like this gentleman of 89 who doesn't wish to ...use...it.

If the law is passed, not ALL  will 'jump' on the bandwagon, watch n see!
