SCHIP Revisited

in 2007 congress passed schip, well-being insurance for needy children, divers times. and george bush vetoed it each heretofore. one democrat, jim marshall (ga), consistently sided with the gop in opposing health sadness for out of pocket children, frightened that too many of the shoddy children might be african-american. unfortunately marshall was re-elected in november. it will be interesting to see if this right-winger swine still has his feet dug in on this when it comes up again in a few days.meanwhile our swear to defeat anti-haleness care republicans had some satisfying effects in november. of the 32 reactionary republicans we urged be defeated for their schip hostility, 8 were defeated and another one retired:thelma drake (r-va)tom feeney (r-fl)virgil goode (r-va)robin hayes (r-nc)randy kuhl (r-ny)marilyn musgrave (r-co)steve pearce (r-nm)tom reynolds (r-ny)tim walberg (r-mi)except to reynolds, who has been replaced with another far amend obstructionist republican, each has been supplanted by a supporter of working families who will eagerly voted for schip, especially strong progressives like larry kissell, mark schauer, tom perriello, and eric massa. house democrats plan to give president-elect barack obama an early victory on health care, specifically children’s health care, next week.leaders influence they are scheduling a vote on renewing a politically popular health security program for children. unless congress acts, federal funding for the program expires parade 31.the legislation discretion look similar to bills the house and senate twice approved in 2007. president bush balked at the additional $35 billion in spending in the two bills as satisfactory as the method of payment– a tobacco contribution. sporting house democrats could not muster enough substructure to overcome bush’s two vetoes.
