The President of the USA has vetoed a bill that will stop children in hte USA from having health care insurance. The following are excerpts from Yahoo news:
WASHINGTON - President Bush cast a quiet veto Wednesday against a politically attractive expansion of children's health insurance, triggering a struggle with the Democratic-controlled Congress certain to reverberate into the 2008 elections.
Bush vetoed the bill in private, absent the television cameras and other media coverage that normally attend even routine presidential actions. The measure called for adding an estimated 4 million mostly lower-income children to a program that currently covers 6.6 million. Funds for the expansion would come from higher tobacco taxes, including a 61-cent increase on a pack of cigarettes.
Me now blogging agian.
Was Bush too scared to face the US nation and explain why he vetoed this bill? I wonder if his kids were without insurance, what the F%^k would he do? Who cares about where the money comes from. The kids of America from lower income families have the right to health insurance.
