Bush threatens vetos of childrens health care aid for working poor families, not welfare cases.?

I wish people would do thier homework instead of telling those who ask the questions to do theirs!!! The bill doesn't state people earning 83,000 a year could quailfy. Eligibility is NOT changing. Bush keeps saying that b/c once again he's lying to the American pubilc. Has he lied before to get his way? The bill states a family of 4 making just about 41,000 could qualify. Have you ever considered how hard making 41,000 a year could be for a widow of 3 children when the cost of health care is skyrocketing every year? People are so stupid to keep using the same idea of 83,000 a year when that is not even the info in the bill. Before you answer with ignorance check out the bill and stop listening to the President!! Bush is all about the Rich and OIL. Why do you think we're in Iraq in the first place? He wanted to finish his father's job, and get oil, which means more money for him. Did you hear the arguments tonight before the house voted? I did because I believe in informing myself. Maybe you should try. And to answer your question....I know these are not welfare cases. They are cases of people trying to get help becaue healthcare is so expensive and Bush could care less. When you've never lived poor you have no idea what it's like to struggle for what you have. Why make the children suffer? Selfish people!!

I have mixed emotions, few want children to be denied health are, but from what I had read not only does it cover the kids but in some cases the parents as well I also think it takes away the responsible of the parents to provide for their children. I have seen some friends and relatives that the opportunity to get health insurance from their work, but opted out because the premiums were too high, but then took vacations and purchased news cars. I do not feel I should have to use my tax dollars to cover their choices

You obviously haven't researched and thought about it before asking this.

The bill was supposed to renew the S-chip program for the children of the poor, BUT congress is trying to slip a bit of socialist rhetoric through piggybacked to this bill, stating that anyone making less than 83,000 a year has entitlements to what's supposed to be a supplement for the poor, not the middle class.

The last time I checked, anyone making 40,000-83,000 a year were not "the working poor" or "welfare cases." It should be vetoed repeatedly until they learn this is not a socialist, hand-out society. In fact, it should be left up to the states considering wages differ via the cost of living of said area (for example, 50,000 a year for a family may very well be considered poor in LA or NYC, but well-off in the midwest).

Like Bush himself said, it's a step toward federalization and socialism, which includes the highest tax increase in history to pay for it.

It is pretty bad when you realize that eighty thousand a year isn't millionaire status. A brief breakdown of housing costs, school and property taxes, alone will disabuse those to whom it seems like rich. In truth it is just middle class, and one of the reasons its been extended to the middle class is that businesses have decreased coverage in the workplace.
Family coverage is at a minimum $12,000 per annum.
Try feeding, housing, clothing, transportation, life insurance, house insurance, and see what you have left for college for the kids. Let alone health insurance.
Bush may not truly be a demon, but he can't offer an option either, in one speech he says they can go to the ER.
Bet hes never been in one. Hes clueless and he doesn't want to learn. Not only that but with his ER system, we still pay for it.
It is up to eighty thousand a year in the new law, it was less in the old one which was bipartisan and enacted in 97.

He needs to continue to fund the illegals in this country to appease his Mexican counter parts to continue the rush into the North American Union

He doesn't want to get anyone angry before the deal is finalized and complete!

So you think children are children up to the age of 25 and poverty is over 80 grand a year? LOL....Learn your topic. NO to socialism.

Agreed!

Ah, thanks for not answering my question...
If you don't know what is being asked then best to leave it be.
My status has nothing to do with having a job you ********.
By the way, what's with the long question ???
Get a life....

...it sounds like you're easy to fool and quite taken in by political games, distortion and partial truths.

Warm regards,

yes you are paying attention
