I’ll be appearing on the [Destination Casa Blanca](http://www.hitn.tv/destinationcasablanca/) program to share [my thoughts](http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MGVkN2NjMGY4ZDk0NjRhYzBmNmM5MjA5ZTJkYTI1Njg=) on the [State Children’s Health Insurance Program](https://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=8697) and the question, “Is this legislation the first step to [universal health care](https://www.cato.org/?s=anti+universal+coverage+club)?”

I’m told that other guests will include someone from the Republican National Committee and the Obama administration. The host will be [Ray Suarez](http://www.hitn.tv/destinationcasablanca/rayframe.html), senior correspondent for *The NewsHour* on PBS.

The program will air this Thursday night (2/5) at 9pm EST, with encore presentations on Friday (12am) and Sunday (10:30am and 10pm). [Destination Casa Blanca](http://www.hitn.tv/destinationcasablanca/) is easiest to find on DirecTV (438) and the Dish Network (843 &amp; 9401). Otherwise, check [here](http://www.hitn.tv/destinationcasablanca/scheduleframe.html).
