Bush's 2nd Children's Health Care Veto
12/12/2007
President Bush vetoed health care for 10 million children for the second time. On the veto, Speaker Pelosi stated, “Let it be clear that Democrats will not rest until 10 million children in America have access to health care, and that it is paid for. Let it be clear that we will persist with this effort. We will try to continue the negotiations with our Republican colleagues, but we will try to introduce legislation immediately that will cover the shortfall between now and the end of the fiscal year, September 30, and at the same time we will be working for the bigger bill. We want to protect the health care of the children who are on SCHIP now, and we’re working to expand that to the 10 million children.”
