POPSBush Limits Availability of Children’s Health Coverage
SCHIP was created in 1997 to help insure children whose families earned too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford insurance on their own. It serves about 6.6 million children annually. Under the new policy, a state seeking to enroll a child whose family earns more than 250 percent of the poverty level -- or $51,625 for a family of four -- must first ensure that the child is uninsured for at least one year. The state must also demonstrate that at least 95 percent of children from families making less than 200 percent of the poverty level have been enrolled in the children's health insurance program or Medicaid -- a sign-up rate that no state has yet managed. Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said if the president were serious about enrolling the lowest-income children, the administration would allow states to sign up youngsters for SCHIP when they qualify for school-lunch and other federal programs.

POPSCourt rejects Ohio domestic spying suit The Bush appointed judges ruled against the plaintiffs, because they failed to show they were subject to the surveillance... Since an essential part of the PATRIOT ACT (and related executive orders) is concealing any investigations from the individuals and organizations investigated and since the Bushites regularly invoke the need for “national security” secrecy to hide this information from the courts ... this appears to be a classic Catch 22 — You don’t have the right to challenge illegal domestic spying... because you can’t prove you have been subject to illegal domestic spying,,, because they don’t have to (or can refuse to) tell you that you have been subject to illegal domestic spying...
