Does this man loves children? No. President George W. Bush on Wednesday vetoed a bill expanding health coverage for the poor and children, very risky decision which his opponents have seized because they can impose their views on Iraq, said the White House.
Again this famous veto "right" of the president to oppose the will of Congress, as was the case for war in Iraq. This veto could make it even more unpopular the Bush administration, in addition to all his party, which just seems not to care needs and opinions of the U.S. population.
What is this medical coverage for poor children?
SCHIP, created in 1997 primarily to address the growing number of uninsured children in a country notorious for such deficiencies, covers 6.6 million people, mostly children from families who earn too much to qualify for the basic coverage but not enough to afford private insurance.
According to a recent survey, 72% of Americans approve of the bill that would extend health insurance program for children (SCHIP)
The reasons for which President Bush opposed the bill are simple: it simply follows the logic of neo-liberalism, which advocates less government and a possible minimal government interference in people, preferring to leave his job in the traditional private and big business, sans se soucier des conséquences négatives d'un tel système.
Avec tout cet argent, il compte l'utiliser pour poursuivre l'agression en Irak, mais pas pour aider des enfants dans son propre pays, dans le «pays de la liberté et de la justice»...
