Tiahrt spin on SCHIP

I understand the fiscal responsibility argument, but does Tiahrt really believe that expanding SCHIP will hurt poor children?r Having private health insurance doesn't mean you are properly insured and can afford the co-pays, premiums and out of pocket expenses, as we all know. Tiahrt is being proactive to fend off inevitable criticism. He got blasted last time he voted against expansion. Course it didn't hurt him in the election.
