Just kidding

Alright,
so I lied. I will blog on something a little more
substantial that I just found online. Check out the
article below about the now twice-vetoed SCHIP bill.
Bush says that he vetoed the bill because instead of
working to put needy children on health insurance, it
moves children who have private insurance to public
insurance. Also, it allows adults to be a part of the
"childrens" health bill. So, it's pretty much just a
stepping stone to European
government-over-your-shoulder healthcare. Now, Bush
has said he's willing to increase the spending on
SCHIP more than the original $5 billion if a few,
simple, conditions are met. This is one of them:
"A
major point of contention with the White House was
Bush's demand that nearly all poor children eligible
for the program be found and enrolled before any in
slightly higher-income families could be covered. He
originally proposed adding $5 billion to the program
over five years but later said he was willing to go
higher as long as his conditions were met."
What's so unreasonable about this? If the Democrats were really worried about insuring needy children rather than scoring points for their so far utterly unimpressive Congressional term, they would stop fighting over points that aren't meant to serve the neediest in this country. Typical.
"Lata" SCHIP
