Clinton supporters, can you explain the details of her contribution to Children's Health Insurance program?
Her website says
"..her successful effort to create the SCHIP Children's Health Insurance program which now covers six million children"

while looking for details I came across Ted Kennedy's site
http://www.tedkennedy.com/content/622/improving-the-health-of-americas-children
which goes into details on how he was involved in the SCHIP program.
and then saw this:
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/10/06/clinton_claims_credit_for_child_program/
So why is it that Ted Kennedy is never mentioned when she takes credit for this program?
Could this be why Kennedy endorsed Obama rather than Clinton?
John, you haven't answered the question at all. What exactly was her role? It was NOT as leader, clearly Kennedy was. Are all Clinton supporters just reciting the same mantra with no details? Why don't you try researching it yourself and then let me know.
Good luck with your question . Her name will appear, but that's about it. Ditto for New York. As NY Senator, Hillary also asked for and received 20 million dollars from the feds to assist the families of policemen and firefighters after 9/11.
But try to find exactly how Hillary was instrumental in that endeavor. You won't find it. What you will find is Hillary turned most of that money over to CORPORATIONS to disperse the funds accordingly. Of course, there were the expected tax breaks. All legal, yes, but it's one more instance of Hillary billing herself as a major player when she was nowhere to be found.
