I love your bizarre analogy.
A program that has an enrollment rate of over 80% (of eligible families) and a participation rate of over 75% is somehow comparable to getting a failing grade - 45% (90 out of 200) on a test score.
WTF kind of logic is that?

In addition two of the problems with SCHIP are the disincentive created, perpetuating poverty and the dehumanization people are put through hurting their confidence and ability to do better on their own. I could argue these factors make things worse with SCHIP.

It is equally bizzare to suggest that one would turn down a higher paying job that offered employer-based (and employer-subsidized) health benefits in order to remain eligible for SCHIP.
WTF again?
