http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/15/washington/15child.htmlThe White House said on Saturday that President Bush would veto a bipartisan plan to expand the Children’s Health Insurance Program, drafted over the last six months by senior members of the Senate Finance Committee.
The program, which insured 7.4 million people at some time in the last year, is set to expire Sept. 30.AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!
KIDS!
HEALTH INSURANCE!
KIDS
WITH HEALTH INSURANCE!
IN WHAT WAY IS THAT OBJECTIONABLE?
The purported objections:
-an increase in the cigarette tax (boohoo the reason this is an issue is because republicans/politicians in general are propped up by tobacco money)
-that increasing the plan's coverage will cause people to drop their private coverage in favor of the government program (guess what the insurance industries give
their money to republicans too)
