Just An FYI

Update: Alan's show is streamed live here. Check it out if you're around at 11 PM.

Update: While the CNN show is being bumped due to a school shooting in Ohio, I've been asked to debate on Alan Colmes’ radio show tonight at 11 PM. Link to follow if I find one. Interesting - via Ezra Klein:

I will debate Michelle Malkin anytime, anywhere, in any forum (save HotAir TV, which she controls), on the particulars of S-CHIP.

Contrary to Ezra, I have no problem going into an opposition venue to talk about conservative principles that are good for America. The Democrat-proposed expansion of S-chip isn't that.

These things sometimes don't come off, but I may be discussing the Frost / S-chip issue on CNN tonight. You should be able to track updates on the story via Michelle Malkin.

I hope you get the opportunity to discuss how "kids like" the Frost's family's children are already covered under sCHIP and there was no reason in the world that the democrats needed to exploit this family in order to score cheap political points.

Maybe one day the Frosts will realize they were used to deflect anger at this attempt to socialize medicine away from the democrats in congress.

If you do, Dan may I sugggest you take along a representative comment from a conservative visitor to your site and a liberal visitor.

The conservative comment is the one where the poster asks whether people with a net worth as high as the Frosts, and as apparently deliberately underemployed, should qualify for fully state funded health care.

The liberal comment is the one which, totally ignoring the facts of the case, engages you in typical liberal fashion: "Dan, you and your ilk are nothing but a bUnch of *2$*+ 6$*%#9^26!^%#$*&%63696oles!"

I also note that Mr Klein in his challenged so restricted the areas he is willing to debate that non of the issues involved in the current discussion are allowed to be addressed.

That really lowers the chances of a useful outcome.

Apparently, CNN and Alan Colmes want to make sure that SCHIP opposition is only presented by angry rubes. Good for them!

By the way, great catch on finding that the senior Frosts were among scores of donors who raised a grand total of a whopping $15,000 for the Princeton band. What incredible wealth they must have! You are freaking brilliant!

[BobInStamford]

The Princeton band used that $15K to fund a madrassa. Bet you didn't know that.

Mr Klein in his challenged so restricted the areas he is willing to debate that none of the issues involved in the current discussion are allowed to be addressed.

Well, seeing as how the current discussion on this blog and others includes, among other thing, speculation that the Frosts should have aborted their kids, I think that's a reasonable restriction.

BTW - here's an opinion from another Maryland resident about available individual insurance for families. What do you think of her opinion:

After my husband quit his job earlier this year (to become a full-time stay-at-home dad), we had a choice. We could either buy health insurance from his former employer through a program called COBRA at a cost of more than $1,000 per month(!) or we could go it alone in Maryland’s individual market. Given our financial circumstances, that “choice” wasn’t much of a choice at all. We had to go on our own.

We discovered that the most generous plans in Maryland’s individual market cost $700 per month yet provide no more than $1,500 per year of prescription drug coverage–a drop in the bucket if someone in our family were to be diagnosed with a serious illness.

With health insurance choices like that, no wonder so many people opt to go uninsured.

gw,

That medical insurance consumer in Maryland sounds like a whining, carping bitch, and her husband sounds pussy-whipped! Only girlymen become stay at home dads. Quick, someone buy that pussy a copy of the Dangerous Book for Boys!

But boy, the tone of her writing is awfully familiar! Do we know her?
