SCHIP to Lack Checks and Balances

I am actually thinking about starting a new series called “Elections Have Consequences.” What has prompted this possibility? Just about everything that has happen in Washington, DC this past week.

Let’s look at the “feel good measure” of the New Year, the return of State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) legislation. A proposed change to the SCHIP could make it possible for people to get health coverage by presenting only a Social Security number, not a photo ID or proof of legal residency or citizenship, such as a birth certificate, driver’s license or passport:

I feel sooooooooo much better now that I know that Harry “the Don” Reid doesn’t see any problem with the proposed language.

Why would the Democrats purposely make it easy for fraud to occur?
