Interesting articles in the New York Times this weekend...

Apparently, Hillary Clinton and Co. are scared of Obama. Concerned about the amount of money the Chicagoan has raised, Hillary brought in the big guns -- Mr. Clinton and... wait for it... Timbaland.

Secondly, the Bush administration has said they will "strenuously resist" any Democratic plans to expand the Childrens' Health Insurance Program. They are arguing that it was originally intended for low-income children, but now the program is out of control, covering 45 percent of kids. They also say Democrats only want to expand the program to start the slippery slope towards universal health care.

Well Good! There are a number of experts that say a move toward universal health care would be easier based on the framework that SCHIP and Medicare/Medicaid provide. Essentially, these programs only need be expanded upon to provide health care for the rest of us.

And this still ignores the biggest health care issue in the U.S. -- those aged 19-29 are twice as likely (at 30 percent) to be uninsured than those both older and younger. Elevating the eligibility age of programs like SCHIP could take a large chunk out of the 14 million uninsured young adults in this age group.

Bring on the slippery slope.
