Bush Prepared to veto SCHIP, will derail federal power grab

President Bush is prepared to veto the State Childrens Health Insurance Program reauthorization. This is a good move for America. The Program was designed to give low-income children the health insurance they could not afford. This program has been widely successful. Now Congress has seen its reauthorization to move the country more towards socialized medicine and wants to expand SCHIP to a larger portion of the population. This bill also takes away a lot of the state choices and puts them under federal control. Congress also waited until the program was just about to expire to send the bill to the President. They have essentially help the children of America hostage in order to give more federal control to health care. We should be proud as Americans that President Bush is willing to stand up for what is right and for the constition and veto this bad bill and send it back to congress to reauthorize a good program not try to expand their power.
