Randy Kuhl says he's "encouraged" by S-CHIP negotiations in a
story in today's Hornell Evening Tribune. Kuhl says the negotiations are taking place without input from the administration, with the goal of getting a veto-proof majority. Eric Massa opposes the compromise, which would remove more adults from S-CHIP eligibility, noting that the number of adults covered by S-CHIP is tiny (0.5% of those eligible), most of them are mentally disabled, and Medicaid would end up covering them, which would increase property taxes.
