This is disgusting, he is going to prevent nearly 6 million kids, under the age of 18, expanded or any medical coverage, so a few insurance and medicine companies can still make record profits.

He is :poop: , glad to say i never voted for him both times.

Unfortunately, because not every kid grows up in a financially stable family and they need this money.

I'm not a Bush fan in the slightest and I would probably question HIS motives for vetoing it. Because you never know with him....

But were I president I'd have vetoed it too. It was a flawed bill full of loopholes.

1) It actually for "children" up to the age of 25... So grown college graduates would be getting free help care intended for children.

2) The bill would NOT require a person to provide proof of citizenship.

I dont really care for them not having to prove citizenship to me a child is a child and should be taken care of regardless. But I do agree with the age thing if a person is no longer considered a minor at 18 then why have the age cut off at 25

Problem is the world isn't full of nice people who would respect that rule... Leaving a huge loophole like that is basically inviting people from any country to abuse it and come here for free medical care on your dime.

So no matter how much we'd all like to see every kid in the world get free medical care, that doesn't change the fact that in the interests of our own nation, for our own kids.... this would have been a flawed policy.
