Comments on: Republican President Vetoes Health Care For Poor Children http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/09/25/republican-president-vetoes-health-care-for-poor-children/ Like Kryptonite To Stupid Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:30:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Wellstone http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/09/25/republican-president-vetoes-health-care-for-poor-children/#comment-61832 Wellstone Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:43:44 +0000 http://improveman.com/ow2008/?p=5154#comment-61832 Last night, 45 Rethugs saw political suicide and crossed over to support the S-CHIP bill in the House. This was a major loss for Boehner, who tried desperately til the last minute to hold the crossovers down below 30. I love it: Another example of excellent strategy by our Madam Speaker. And if Bush vetoes, guess what? She will probably reintroduce and keep it going til Election Day.

It's not about the money, it's about philosophy. He's worried that if people see a government health plan that works, they won't be scared of socialized health care. It's as simple as that.
