President Bush, Can you spare a dime?
September 26th, 2007Aren’t healthy kids worth the cost?
Posted Sept. 25, 2007 – More than 9 million children in the United States are trying to survive without health insurance, and if President Bush has his way, more kids will be added the rolls of the uninsured.
Last night, Congress passed a bill that would keep coverage for 6 million of the 9 million children currently covered by the State Children’s Health Insurance Plan (S-CHIP) now up for renewal. If passed and signed by the president, the bill would give coverage to 3.5 million more children.
Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) like all the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, supported the bill. “We still have a long way to go,” he said.
Bush thinks the bill goes too far and has made it clear that when it lands on his desk it faces a veto. What does Bush have against poor children? His fear is if we start covering all children, who’ll be next? The bill “pushes many children who now have private coverage into a government-run system, part of the Democrats’ incremental plan toward government-run health care for all Americans,” a White House statement charged.
That’s not really true, according to the authors of the bill. The bill would allow for more of the working poor without healthcare and those who must purchase insurance for family members to qualify, they say.
House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) said, “This bipartisan legislation safeguards the health of our nation’s most vulnerable youths.”
The “most vulnerable youths” according to the Congressional Budget Office, includes close to 10 million uninsured children. Two and a half million are children of color: About 1.4 million are Hispanic children; 800,000 are African American; and 130,000 are Asian American.
Bush isn’t making friends on either side of aisle with his veto threat. No doubt children will be the ultimate victims as he plays political football with their health coverage. But those running for re-election in 2008 with feel the “ill”-effects as well.
In a statement released by the White House, Bush calls for lawmakers to give him another bill that won’t include so many kids.
Can’t we spend at least what we’re spending for the children in Iraq and Afghanistan on our kids’ right here at home?
By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer
Do you think your tax dollars would be well spent providing healthcare to these children who need it?
The Federal Government does not provide delivery services very well, whether its a Democrat Crongress or a Republican House or vise versa. Whoever occupies the White House also is irrelevant to the capability of Huge Beaurocrocies like The Federal Gov. I do not want the feds to have anything to do with healthcare among the poor. Every solution provided by the gov. for the poor only makes situations worst. Example. Federal Housing(PJ’s/Reservations/Wards etc). Welfare(generational mediocrity) adn so on. Frederick Douglas said concerning the position of the USA towards blacks ,”What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot- box, let him alone, don’t disturb him! Let him fall if he cannot stand alone! If the Negro cannot live by the line of eternal justice, so beautifully pictured to you in the illustration used by Mr. Phillips, the fault will not be yours, it will be his who made the Negro, and established that line for his government. [Applause.] Let him live or die by that. If you will only untie his hands, and give him a chance, I think he will live…” - Frederick Douglass. If we take this attitude we would not be such Democratic Socialist Lapdogs. We are businessman, productive members of society who shouldn’t government slavemasters. If we put them in charge of the delivery system for medical care it would be worse for everyone. It is not a good choice. PS. Bet ’s journalist are pretty presumptive to think that they can phrase questions the way they do, and skew the argument in favor of a position. Your premise is completely retarded.
Sorry thweatt but we black people are not lapdogs for the dems, period. IF we were then the current commander and chief would not be in the white house, period. As for the current bum in said white house the fact that he won’t sign that health bill goes to show that he and his admin would rather send our hard earn tax money over to help rebuild Iraq and where ever overseas is our fault for not kicking is sorry butt out when we had the chance to do so and what ever happens from now until is sorry butt is gone is what we get for voting him and his admin in for a secord term and I don’t feel sorry for the children or us not one bit!
MLROBINS, AL Gore received 92% of the African american individuals who chose to vote. The Leadership of the Democratic Party has created zombies of our Leaders, and it is easy to see. And trust me ML ROBINS when I say leaders I am not speaking of Just Jesse & Al, I am talking about church leaders, community activist, all areas of infrastructure are penatrated to erode the black pro-masculine, independent family core from the system. i want nothing more than Financial Freedom for my people. Those who strive for exellence. Socialism is not excellence, …. Follow those who strive greatness, and you may attain it for yourself.
Bush is an idiot!! why would anyone expect anything else from him. This government s a complete joke!! The black leaders are all dead and gone!!!
Nice try with the socialism thing, thrweatt but if most of the black people would have voted for dems and Al Gore then we would not be talking about this issue right now nor would we have had this so-war gong on for the last few years. We would not be sending billions of our tax monies overseas or paying some country to have it’s own army,etc. nola would be getting the help that it needed and the excuses that it is getting now. we would have healthcare for more of our poorer children, etc, but no you people put a ?~$$?#?~ from Tx in the white house who did not care about all the people in this country but just a few with money like him and his buddies who run big oil companies who were already making hands over fist money and now is making even more hands over fist money. You people get what you get for putting in this bum and I don’t feel sorry for you not one bit!
Please dont feel sorry for me mlrobbins because Im a capitalist, I make money on peolpes ignorance just like AL Gore, George Bush, John Edwards, Barak Obama, Imake money with all them dudes, Thats what I do. But your lack of knowlege of how blacks vote and how this country is run from the local state and federal level, is why you arent making any money. And instead of critizing me on making assumptions,… ask yourself, and you & I know? but is it true.
