We FINALLY get S-CHIP passed

I don't have time to create links to all the posts I've written about S-CHIP over the last two years, but I traveled to Washington, D.C. with people from the PICO Network three times to fight for this bill, which expands health insurance coverage to millions of children who are currently without it.

Today, the Senate passed a strong bill with bi-partisan support. The change just keeps coming! This victory was a bit belated (with two vetos by former President George W. Bush), but, as they say, it's better late than never.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
