President Bush’s second veto of bi-partisan State Children’s Health Insurance Program legislation gave 9 million uninsured children a disappointing present this Holiday Season. The veto is a missed opportunity to ensure that 4 million more children have the health care coverage that they need.
As the White House is aglow in the spirit of the Holiday Season, 62,000 children are expected to lose health insurance during the month of December. That is nearly 2,000 children joining the ranks of the uninsured each day.
