The President is perfectly willing to add more poor children to the already existing program. His objection is to expanding it to cover people who are neither children or poor. Tobacco taxes alone will not pay for this proposed expansion. More and more people are giving up the weed anyway. So then where does the money come from? This whole endeavor is about control and getting as many people as possible under the thumb of government. Our system definitely needs reform - but more government is not the answer.....as has been proven over and over again.
