The President was right to VETO this bill,
Hopefully congress will rewrite this deal get rid of the pork and get back to the spirit of the S-CHIP program.
The bill congress sent to the White House was a step towards socialized medicine.
There is nothing wrong with helping the needy and unfortunate.
This bill want to increase those covered, even those whose families can afford health care.
The increased cost of the bill was to be raised from a $0.61 a pack tax increase on cigarettes.
I think that congress has already taxed smokers enough already
Heck there's a congressman now who wants to start a SURTAX on the US citizens to pay for the war on terror.
Not to mention a draft proposal from another congressman to institute a carbon tax which would further burden the citizens.
Why not just take your whole paycheck and feed you school cafeteria food.
Enough with taxes.
I 'm still waiting for the midnight pay raise deal congress likes to pull this time of year before sneaking out of town.
Bush explains health-care veto during visit here
President Bush speaking Wednesday to about 400 people in West Hempfield Township justified his veto of a proposed expansion of a children's health
care program by saying government shouldn't be competing with private insurance.
The program — called the State Children's Health Insurance Program — provides health care insurance to about 7 million children, but Congress
recently passed legislation to expand it to enroll another 4 million.
Congress needs to fund the current program as is and stop playing the
raise taxes game.
You want to see social medicine in action, just watch San Francisco, they just implemented their program and it will be interesting to see how their
plan fares in the future.
