President Bush Won’t Support Cash for Kids Insurance
Posted Oct. 4, 2007 – President Bush kept his word to Congress and the American people when he shot down a bill Tuesday that would have renewed and expanded health insurance for poor children.
The veto was no surprise, but the political fallout might be. The White House sent a tsunami of e-mails explaining how bad it would be if this bill were signed into law and the state-federal partnership insurance program was expanded to cover more children.
In a statement from the White House, Bush said, “The policies of the government ought to be help poor children and to focus on poor children. And the policies of the government ought to help people find private insurance, not federal coverage.”
Bush maintains the expansion that would include up to 10 million children (the cost of which is equivalent to what the United States spends in for 41 days in Iraq) and take the nation’s health care system in the wrong direction.
“I believe in private medicine, not the federal government running the health care system,” Bush said. He wants Congress to come back with something covering fewer children and costing less.
The reaction from Sen. Edward Kenney’s (D-Mass.) was forceful. “Today we learned that the same president who is willing to throw away a half trillion dollars in Iraq is unwilling to spend a small fraction of that amount to bring health care to American children,” Kennedy said.
The Senate has the two-thirds votes it needs to override Bush’s veto. But it’s not clear whether the U.S. House of Representatives has the votes it needs. But House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) remains hopeful. “I call on my colleagues in Congress to join the broad bipartisan consensus of senators, representatives, governors and advocacy groups who want to improve the quality of health care that America’s children receive and override the president’s veto,” he said.
The Democrats postponed the vote to override the veto until Oct. 18, which may give members time to take the pulse of folks in their respective districts. Republicans are worried the veto is a kitchen-table discussion item that could hurt them at the polls in 2008.
But the real pain may be felt by the 10 million children and their families who will be without health care.

Please Pamela, you have got to do a better job than this. I am being sincere. “I believe in private medicine, not the federal government running the health care system,” Bush said. Pamelas’s interpratation- He wants Congress to come back with something covering fewer children and costing less. You make it seem as if his desire is to have less children covered in general. When he made the case for the Government not controlling and expanding their role in providing healthcare. We need less children on government assisted healthcare, but provide private alternatives for competing healthcare providers. If the Federal Government gets involved in the delivery mechanism of the healthcare system, this is what we will experience, a decease in the overall leval of general care, and an increase in the overall cost. We have marvelous examples of government waste and less than adeqauate services provided by the Feds. REPUBLICANS/DEMOCRATS it really has not made a diffrence when you study our nations history. Large beaurocrcies are inefficiant. We need private competition for healthcare cost to come down, not overregulated laws designed by Trial attorneys who profit from both Insurance firms Claims and Settlements. It seems as long as the Court is getting paid the law moves right along. Government expansion of healthcare for poor people is even worse, because their to vulnerable to make an outside choice once their government provider starts them down a path of treament they may or may not like. Black people be smart. This Government performed MEDICINE … wink, wink on our people before. Getting poor people on government healthcare is population control. Its a long term master plan I know, but his is how it all starts- Pamela.. we need better from you. Educate us. Please don’t spoon Feed Us.
This just shows that the our commander and chief does not care about poor children and people of color,period but that’s what we get for putting in this jerk not once but twice in the white house. Did you people think that he was going to do the right thing, hell no. This bum has not done the right thing since he has been a office holder and now he shows again why we should have not voted his sorry behind into the white house from the get go! What a joke and it’s on us!
