Points: 10,008, Level: 66 | Level up: 67%, 42 Points needed | | The funny thing is, Bush's problem with this bill is that the income level for helping these families is something like $83,000 per year.
Well, I dump over $250 dollars a month into buying health insurance for my kids. If I could, I will dump that and buy into the federal insurance. I could sure use that $250 elsewhere. | |

Maybe now, the blind 28% will finally figure out what the rest of us have known for nearly 7 years: Bush is in it for Bush and Bush's pals, period. The rest of America be damned. | |

I meant the $83,000 per year. Would how many people were in the family affect what income they could have and still qualify for the government insurance?
