S-CHIP passes, Bush to veto
The House and Senate have both passed S-CHIP, though not by a veto-proof majority in the House. Of course, Bush has already said he'd veto the legislation. Which is great. It made me think, what WOULD get the President to sign the bill?
How about we hand the program off to private insurers. We then double the premiums and instead of spending the extra $35 Bn the Democrats in Congress want to spend over the next 5 years, we spend $70 Bn and let the private insurers take the difference.
Would that work? Will insuring poor and middle class kids finally makes sense to Republicans if we provide some corporate welfare to private insurers who are so operationally inefficient that they can't turn a profit without help from Republicans in Government?
A notable no vote was from our own Senator Cornyn who is still voting in lock step with the President. Even Hairdo voted FOR affordable children's healthcare. We really want to know why the hell Cornytn would want to continue representing a deranged lunatic and NOT the people of Texas?
I want to get rid of this guy so bad... if you do to, help me. Send a buck or two to Rick and let's retire Junior John from the Senate.
