Ok, let me get this straight….Bush wants all children to excel in Education and has developed the No Child Left Behind ideology…but then he uses his veto power to kill legislation meant to help keep children covered with health insurance benefits. WTF people!
I realize I do now know all of the policy ups and downs or the nuance of SCHIP, but come on! The basic premise that even a majority of congressional REPUBLICANS understood was that there is a program in jeopardy that can help States keep children insured. That by allowing children (in most cases poor to lower middle class children) access to healthcare that is not killing their parents financially these children will get regular medical care and hopefully stay healthy, instead of parents trying to decide if they should buy food or pay for the ER. What is wrong with that?
Our country is in a crisis of health care. I can barely get an appointment to see my Doctor, and I have insurance. I don’t get the feeling Bush wants to hurt kids, but by engaging in this pissing contest with Congress he is putting the health and welfare of thousands of children second to his political hubris.
Guess what Bush? You just gave the Democrats another issue they can use during the 2008 Election season. You now look like a dickhead and even people from your own party are pissed about this issue. Way to go Mr. President!
