What do you think of GWB veto of the nationalChildren Health Plan?

I cant believe he did this....especially in light of him being pro-life. People should bring babies into the world regardless of if they can afford them or not.....but then not get them health care?

    well look at the specifics of the program. it is just more middle class entitlement. in some cases a "child" is defined as a 22y/o. enough is enough. it's easy to attach "child health care" to the name so every one says "it's for the children - how could you veto it?"

    If the Democrats were really trying to provide healthcare for poor children why did the set the income limit at $80,000?

    This whole this was nothing more than political BS by the Democratic party and media spin.

    The care the government can provide is so minimal and uneffective it's not worth the cost! It'd not only be wasting your tax dollars and be another reason to raise your taxes down the road, but it'd also be another avenue in our daily lives the government can step in and control us. We don't need it!! Plus, people that make $80,000 can afford to take care of their own. And the libs/democrats are like usual blowing this way out of proportion!!

    They will get my tax money for this Socialist Communist plan when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. Show me where in the Constitution where it says that Government should supply Health Care. These Socialist Dems are out of control.

    If you have kids and want this Communist plan, then people with kids should have to pay a much higher tax rate. If you don't have kids and will never benefit from having your money ripped from you, then you should pay a lower tax rate. If you can't afford to pay for health care for your kids, don't have them.

    Good.

    If you make 80K you should be able to afford you own health care.

    At 23 you are an adult not a child

    If you are illegal you shouldn't be able to draw on our welfare system.

    50 cents tax on gas is outragous.

    So save the line about for the Children.

    You can't say you care about children if you think that it is OK to kill at will while in the womb at all.

    You lost the right there.

    I love that the he vetoed it.

    zaeli22 you should read a little more into what the bill actually says and the reasons why Bush vetoed it before you go and open your ignorant mouth and just read the headlines the left-wing media prints.

    it is there responablity to provide for there family. Its not the governments resonabilty to provide healthcare. The government job is not to provide social programs to the citizens the government job is to provide security and protect the citizens.

    All for it. The fewer government programs the better. It's about time he started trying to trim the fat. Too bad he started to late.

    He did the right thing, since when does someone making 80,000 a year need help with insurance.
