The governor is ready to take care of "his" kids. Saying in a press release today that "We’re the adults in the world" he is planning on providing health care coverage for just about everyone. And I do mean everyone.
His plan is the "Healthy Kids" plan and this is from a recent report regarding said plan and who gets to participate:
“All is all” –all kids, with immigration status irrelevant.
Irrevelevant to your utopia maybe but there is that tiny matter of the law to take into consideration...

Could be worse. At least we have a dipshit neo-liberal president - the first in the history of the country NOT to raise taxes during war time.
Sue, your additional tax burden to provide health care to children pales in comparison to the cost of the war and certainly in comparison to the price we all pay as the administration - and federal government in general - watches the national economy hemorrhage jobs off-shore.
But we can't blame the government for that, can we? Hell, it's just the free market doing what the free market does. If you're a free market proponent, I suggest not bitching.
November!
Imagine big grin Teddy in a Blue Vest with smiley face and all welcoming shoppers to enjoy their $4 prescriptions.
And exactly how does he plan to propose this to "all" children "regardless of immigration status" when the DHS is scrounging around like rats to try to find ways to get sufficient documentation for illegals to receive benefits to which they are not (now) legally entitled. How will they be entitled to this insurance for "all" children "regardless of immigration status" if they're not legally entitled to receive it?
The man talks out of both sides of his mouth, there's no doubt about it!
if you voted for W and you're not up-in-arms about the federal deficit, then I don't think you should be complaining about Kulongoski. W is a FUCKING MORON! Federal deficit, war going on = tax cuts!?! I was raised Republican, indoctrinated really. This is not Republican. We're fucked if this is our party.
Add to the fact that most Illegal Aliens are Hispanic and they have a much higher rate of Diabetes, Cancer, Heart disease and Alcoholoism.
Also add that Hispanic families have an average of 2 times as many kids.
TED is buying the Hispanic vote with OUR money and we will all pay disproportinately for it!
Anon 10:36-Are you capable of composing a single sentence without using the f-bomb?
I didn't think so.
Scottiebill - As Dick Cheney once said, go "fuck yourself"!
Do you agree with me that the Republican party has strayed miles off course from the Reagan years, and it's just my language you have a problem with? Sorry!
It's fuckin' politics. Deal with it. If you have something to say, say it.

El Razonador,
Allow me to respond for Anon 9:01 according the CDC:
Ten Leading Causes of death in the U.S. in 2002 for Hispanics or Latinos:
1. Heart disease
2. Cancer
3. Unintentional injuries
4. Stroke
5. Diabetes
6. Chronic liver disease and Cirrhosis
7. Homicide
8. Chronic lower respiratory disease
9. Pneumonia and Influenza
10. Birth defects
You don't want me to go there regarding how many children they have compared to other races because I can slam dunk you on that one to.
Go ahead and look it up yourself if you feel the need to. Just google "Health Statistics for Hispanics"

Hey El,
Okay here you go according to the US Census (of which please remember that most Hispanics do not participate in) the percentage of children compared to White Non-Hispanics are as follows:
Children 0-4
5.2% Males (Hispanic) 5.1 Females (Hispanic) compared to 3.1% Males (White) and 2.9% Females (White)
Children 5-9
5.1% Males (Hispanic) 4.9% Females (Hispanic) compared to 3.2% Males (White) and 3.0% Females (White)
Children 10-14
4.8% Males (Hispanic) 4.5% Females (Hispanic) compared to 3.4% Males (White) and 3.3% Females (White)
Children 15-19
4.3% Males (Hispanic) 4.0% Females (Hispanic)compared to 3.3% Males (White) and 3.2% Females (White).
Since the majority of the Hispanics in this country are Mexican and most Mexican's are Catholics and do not believe in birth control there birth rates are statistically higher, also it is more profitable to them to have more babies in the US to receive aid this is also proven if you look at the welfare system.
Sorry but the facts do not lie however I do respect that fact that you responded to my blog and wish to have an intelligent debate about this.
As I sat outside the county health clinic tonight watching a family of Mexicans getting into their minivan with 5 kids in tow, I finally realized how this immigration battle will end.
It is all over folks. I realized that what is happening is besides some politicians, mainly republicans, making noises about border security, etc., most do not want to do anything about it for reasons unknown.
So what is really going on is that these corrupt politicians are basically just waiting for the baby boomer generation to die off. The boomers and people older can remember what the US was like before mass illegal immigration and that is why they are fighting so hard to stop it.
It is the younger generations, "Gen X" and younger who have been raised on diversity and been beaten into submission regarding cultural sensitivity and all of that hogwash, that will just let the invasion happen without raising objections.
So once the older folks either give up or just eventually die off, the liberals and the corrupt repubs can have their cheap labor and new voter bloc. And all memories of the "old ways" will have be forgotten.
Anon 2:12 - I will not dignify your f-bomb aimed at me with a response except to say that it shows your level of maturity. One could expect that stuff from a 14-year-old but not from a supposedly mature adult.
As for the Republican party having strayed off course from the Reagan years, of course it has. But the Democrat party used to be a party of honor and integrity during the years of FDR and Harry Truman. But it, too, has strayed off course in far more than the Republicans, beginning with the fiasco known as the "Carter presidency". Now it is nothing more than a party of hatred toward the opposition, obfuscation of facts, and corruption of and by the left-wing media. The Democrats of today have nothing in their agenda except bringing down the Bush administration by any means available. And if that means irrevocably damaging our national security by systematically "leaking" classified information, their attitude is "So be it".
This is the opening to socialized medicine in Oregon, which will bankrupt this state without 100% federal subsidy. I am already trying to move out of this state. Universal health care with a massive tax increase that attracts out-of-staters, particularly illegals, will likely be the last straw for me. You cannot go it alone in this arena. The poor will inundate the State and drain our resources. They already do this. So many poor people have moved from the South to CA just to get the "bigger" welfare check. Etc.
I want to start by saying that if you want to move your automobiles to any location in the US or overseas without any problems, use Quantum Transport solutions. They are the most effective set of workers I've ever seen in this business and trust me I've seen a lot in this Transport business.
