After not vetoing a single bill for 6 years as president, Bush has had a string of vetoes since the Democrats took both houses. Today, Bush vetoed a bill that would CONTINUE health care coverage to uninsured children. Now, there will be a "donut" of health care coverage for children: impoverished children are entitled to healthcare through Medicaid and those with parents lucky enough will be covered by their parents' HMO. Without the extension of the program called SCHIP, uninsured families with children will no longer receive any assistance in giving their children basic health coverage.
How very conservative of you, Mr. Bush.
