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"
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/feature/healthcareplan/
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.

Can someone please spell out what the new health care bill entails?
Everyone is telling me conflicting things about what the health care bill which Congress passed says, like who is going to provide the health care (government/ private insurance), who is going to pay for the health care (gov't via taxpayers/ individuals), how it is going to work (public option/ not).
Can someone please link me to a non-biased website that just spells out what all this new bill includes and what didn't pass. I don't want anyone's interpretation of it or predictions of what will happen, just a straight synopsis of what the passed bill actually says.
(Make sure it is the final one which BOTH houses passed)
Thanks!
is your google broken?
