bush on health care
President Bush opposed health care for children, much to the dismay of the bipartisan group in congress that wanted to make the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) up to $60 billion through the following five years and insuring 3.3 million more low-income children.
Bush refuses to accept anything more than half that amount.
