Health care for poor children is unfair.

there’s a program called ‘schip’, which provides health care to poor children.

it’s a popular program, and it works well. it has the support of a majority of governors, health care providers, democrats, and moderate republicans.

it passed a vote in the house today, but conservative republicans voted against it and president bush is threatening to veto it.

let’s remember: this is a program that provides health care to poor children.
it’s popular and it was crafted by democrats and moderate republicans.

why is bush going to veto this bill?

and why are right wing republicans against it?

a big reason is that in order to pay for the bill there’s an increase in the tax on cigarettes.

and the president and the right wing republicans believe that this is unfair to tobacco companies.

i’m not kidding.

so the president and the right wing republicans are against a bill that provides health care to poor children because they believe it’s unfair to tobacco companies.

they also believe it’s too expensive.

but to put it in perspective: one year of this health care program costs as much as running the war in iraq for 30 days.
