President Bush vetoed a health insurence program that would have expanded the State Children's Health Insurance Program by nearly $35 billion over five years. President Bush stated that he veoted the bill for the second time because it was identical as the first bill that was proposed on October 3. Instead of increasing Children's Health Insurence by $35 billion President bush proposed adding $5 billion to the program and felt that if he would have accepted the bill many families would have left private insurence to use the federal funded insurence. Many against President Bush rejecting the bill felt that the bill would have helped poor children around the country. I feel that health insurence for children is one of the most important things our country need because hospital and medical bills are very expensive. But the federal health insurence should be for children that really need it, for those whose parents do not make enough income.
