Bush is on the side of big business. He is not going to do anything to help the general masses.
2 :
ABSOLUTELY WRONG!
3 :
Wrong! He stopped kids from having health care! And for those of worried about taxes, it would have been paid through an increase on the tobacco tax.
4 :
I kind of feel that he is right to veto it....I worked as a caseworker in public assistance and there are all kinds of people who don't NEED the government health care that are on it or try to get on it because it is free or a lot less expensive than from their workplace. Also, they don't have to pay deductibles or co-pays. But the ones who really need it aren't always eligible or able to come into the office or know about it. I think he's right in the fact that we need to sign up all of the poorer children before allowing anyone who is eligible for health care through their workplace and I don't feel anyone ages 21- 60 should be on public health care unless they are PHYSICALLY handicapped to the point that they cannot work at all.
5 :
Children have health care (chip). Get all the facts then you will be enlightened.
6 :
From a health care professional with over forty years' clinical experience, it was one of the foulest betrayals of the American people ever foisted upon us by a sitting President. There are no words that can adequately express my disgust with that vile little man that are not crude and vulgar...
7 :
i think it's wrong to denign any child heathcare. even the rich ones. he was wrong or he is going about the right thing in the wrong way.
8 :
That bill was written with so much pork! The bill was written to include children whos parents can afford private insurance and was going to raise the age to 25 years old. He was smart. The bill was not focused at poor mis privilidged kids. It was written by democrats because they knew he would reject it so they stuck a nice name on it so when he rejected it they could lift it up and declare that Bush hates poor sick kids when the bill had nothing to do with poor sick kids.
9 :
would you feel right taking away a child's health care?
10 :
As expected...has any president enacted any legislation for the benefit of the proletariat?
11 :
If Bush was to approve that bill, he'd catch holly hell from the big corporations that were paramount in getting him into the White House. Heck, congress might even have to charge a fair price for the oil pumped out of land owned by the government, ( us tax payers) to pay for this program. That could cost the oil companies billions. There's many more welfare programs for the extremely rich that could be cut also.
12 :
He was right..as much as some hate him for doing it...but this is the 1st step towards nationalizing medical care for everyone...which would be a disaster for many...all you have to do is look at the red tape and delays now with the current public systems such as vet care, elderly care, and medicaid...people have to get authorization first for certain care and if the cost would be extraordinary..the care is usually delayed or denied and is caught up in appeals until the person dies.
13 :
Yeah, he was right...it's just too bad that he doesn't have the balls to veto the BS his own party creates. The thumbs certainly reveal the socialist bias of the folks in CE...it's also too bad that they are so incapable of honest evaluation of the BS their own politicos create. "BUT IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!" (Not if it doesn't work, it isn't.)
14 :
Read the bill carefully. It does not really provide for the indigent. It would provide coverage up to the age of 25 for familes making six figures. They already have health care. The poor do not. He has asked that it be rewritten and resubmitted. This was a bad bill, and the name of it is very misleading.
15 :
Mr. Bush amazes me during the time the Republicans controlled congress Mr. Bush vetoed ZERO spending bills during this time. Now he spell the word veto and has again done it to the Child health Care Bill, then he will go on TV beg for billions more to fight his war in Iraq. Give more tax cuts to rich and tax breaks to buddies in the oil industry. The man of compassion but only for those who are rich.
