Bush is threatening to veto the bipartisan bill to reauthorize the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Why? He’s concerned that it will encourage more people to enroll in government-financed health care programs. And this president is all about letting the free market have its way with people, including kids. Conservatives are terrified that an expansion of SCHIP will lead to universal health care, so they’re jerking the president’s marionette strings in a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable.
And we still get another 18 months of this bully and his craven, morally bankrupt policies. Somebody, pour me a drink. A backrub would be nice, too.
