People are not dropping their private insurance to get onto the S-CHIP program.
She is also a champion of healthcare for all and an original sponsor of the S-chip (healthcare for children) programme.
Administration official Dennis Smith says that's a concept known as crowd-out, and it undermines what S-CHIP was designed to do.
The Bush administration is also worried that families who can afford private health insurance will switch to S-CHIP if it's available because it's cheaper.
However, if the child is on Medicaid or its sibling, S-CHIP, the child has a 55% chance of not being able to get an appointment.
To help prevent that crowd-out, the administration will now require families who previously had private insurance to go without coverage for a year before becoming eligible for S-CHIP.
Well, if so, then you must keep your brother by providing him with a guaranteed retirement (Social Security), an endless supply of medical care (Medicare, Medicaid, S-CHIP), a roof over his head (public housing), and an education for his kids (public schooling).
Then came middle-class parents (S-CHIP).

As it turns out, it runs a quad-core version of AMD's new Temash chip, which is being billed as the first quad-core, x86-based SoC. (There's also a dual-core version.) Built into the chip is an HD Radeon 8000 series GPU with AMD's Graphics Core Next architecture, so in theory you should be able to pull off PC-caliber gaming even on a tablet.
