It is NOT, however, impossible to get coverage that WOULD protect his family, in their current circumstances, without hitting up ALL of us to cover it.

    And here's somebody that knows the Frosts:

    They’re good people. Terribly misguided, pathetically leftist buffoons, but still good people. It was a terrible accident and Bonnie is quite beat up with guilt over the events. Lots of neighbors pitched in to cook meals and help out… Bonnie works half time doing freelance editorial work and Halsey, an incredibly disorganized lovable goofball, just can’t seem to hold down a proper job or, when he’s tried, to run a proper company. He’s a millwork carpenter and does great work installing custom interior and exterior trimwork and cabinetry. He should be making great money but can’t get out of his way…

    …Still, we make choices, right? They have three vehicles - a nice new volvo SUV, a Suburban, and his F250 Ford Pickup work truck, a nice house, and all four kids go to private school. Not sure where the money comes from, but they don’t make all that much. Should they be the poster child for S-CHIP? Heck no….

    $165 is to start on this program. Each additional dependent will make the per person cost go down. It's like the first F-22 costs $500 million. With each additional order, the unit cost goes down.

    Public school not good enough for them? But public health care is? How about enroll in public school and use the money from going to private school and buy some health care?

    You know, each one of his vehicle costs twice as much as mine.
