All the top wealthy white male GOP contenders (dreamers) for president think that denying health care to millions of American children is a swell idea.
Lazy slothful babies should just pull themselves up by their tiny bootstraps the way Bush did it.
Fred Thompson says SCHIP is "Hillary-care by another name."
Giuliani says SCHIP is a "typical Democratic, Clinton kind of thing."
Romney says SCHIP is "wasteful."
John McCain says the veto is "the right call."
Yet the "SCHIP program enjoys the broad bipartisan support of Congress, 43 governors and the American people. According to recent polls, 86 percent of the American people support reauthorizing S-CHIP, with seven in ten saying they support the Democratic plan to expand SCHIP by $35 billion over five years." [Robert Wood Johnson Foundation release, 8/23/07; Washington Post, 10/2/07]
Unless Congress steps up and overrides this irresponsible and immoral veto, the Decider will once again wreck havoc across the nation.
Here in Tennessee:
"The tsunami-like problems emanating from President Bush's veto roll over the Tennessee hospitals that provide indigent care for a disproportionate share of uninsured children. This morning's Tennessean reports that the Bush veto of Congress' SCHIP could cost those hospitals $30 million a year for 5 years in their efforts to deliver adequate health care whenever the state's 127,000 uninsured kids need it."
Tell Congress to override Bush's shameful and immoral veto.
