Can't ever seem to nail anyone down on who is poor-what is middle class ect--but getting a little clearer pic now with $ figures added to equation.
Kids Care
Congressional Democrats are pushing legislation that would expand the reach of the federal program that feeds money to states to pay for poor children's health insurance.
But The Washington Times reports the Senate version would raise the eligibility ceiling on family income to about $62,000 a year for a family of four ? three times the national poverty standard. New York state wants to raise its cutoff level to $83,000. These changes would put millions more children in the program.
And thousands of families who make enough to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax ? designed for wealthy people ? would also qualify for the government-subsidized health care.
