who gets to pay for the insurance?
2 :
till age 25 yea thats right.
3 :
Now the argument will be the cost of the program mostly from the right. Excuse me! How much is the war costing?
4 :
Why are democrats trying to pass a bill that will cost poor people (they are generally the smokers). Plus it will make children who already have health care give it up for government issue healthcare that will cost tax payers more money. Especially when there is already free healthcare for all uninsured children in every single state.
5 :
Follow the money...
6 :
Good question. Strongly bipartisan bill but Bush wants to veto it. Over 180,000 "contractors" in Iraq. Only 160,000 troops. It's privatized war-be afraid.
7 :
Because he is ideologically opposed to any sort of national health care system, and sees the expansion of the children's insurance program as a first step in that direction.
8 :
Because it's a bad bill.

Let me ask, do you work? Do you pay taxes? I do. My paycheck starts off $800, and then they take away $200 for taxes every two weeks. I don't have kids. If you can't afford to buy health care for your kids, don't have them. It's not like kids just drop from the sky. We all know what causes them, we all know how to keep them from being conceived.

because he would have to tax billionaires and curtail war spending and oh he can't sign his name
11 :
because his children and grandchildren will be living on his million acre ranch in paraquay with solar/wind farm and a private army of blackwater to guard them and private health facility. that may be why he has run our country into the ground. i'm sure he will pay his domestic staff peanuts

Site one instance in which a poor child was not treated. Oops, I forgot, that doesn't happen, unless the parents aren't smart enough to find the help, which is all over the place!!
13 :
Dave is correct.
14 :
it's not a bad bill.bush opposes anything that can help the people by vetoing it.he hasn't put a dime in no child left behind,there's no money in the government because he plundered it in this useless war,he vetoed research for stem cells,that is one of the biggest killers in America right now and that damn fool so ass backward right now.why again did the court put bush in office?so things like this happen and don't get corrected.
15 :
Oh,thats not health insurance. Translation:Thats to inlist you in the army,when your old enough.

I may be wrong, and not trying to provoke any bad statements. However I beleive the increase of funds was not intended to put children of well to do families say $82,000 and up on government insurance but is to cover more eligible children, and families that currently they are not able to take care of. Those families that are working good paying jobs, most already have good employer, and employee paid insurance already. So to me this idea that they will join government paid insurance does not add up. Our usa has paid at least close to $600 billion dollars and more to come !!!! on the Iraq invasion. With little or no talk what soever of what is being cut in our deserving u.s. citizens tax paid benefits to divert these huge funds to a needless occupation. Well folks, the bills are coming due !!! The money being alloted almost $200 billion every three months for bombs and bullets does not grow on trees. I think the idea of taxing cigarettes was a poor choice of finding funds... Who on earth would tax a system of death and addiction as cigarettes to promote funds for life giving insurance? While the bill does have some good and bad sides. It was a poor choice to choose cigarrettes. Surely they could find some other way to find funds. Hmmmm $35 billion for needed child insurance for the future of our country, or $ 200 billion for bombs and continued war and death. ?????? Which will it be ????
