The Regime is fighting on all fronts now as the American people make it increasingly clear that they are fed up with laissez faire capitalism at home and neoimperialism abroad. Another example of its efforts to stem the tide is it's directive to HHS to limit the availability of Medicaid for families of modest means. It has already vetoed expanding the popular SChip insurance program for poor children. Now state officials in Louisiana, Oklahoma and Ohio are finding that the agency intends to apply an August 17 directive limiting SChip benefits to families with children that have incomes less than 250% of the federal poverty level to Medicaid too. Ohio wanted to expand Medicaid coverage to families with incomes of 300% to include an additional 35,000 children. The Regime rejected that initiative saying it would take business away from for profit health insurers. Please Sir, may I have some more?
