Answer 1

Because bush's buddies, the health care providers(Bill Frist comes to mind), insurance companies, and of course all the EMPLOYERS in America don't want to pay anything they don't have too(taxes in the cases of all of them) and don't want to lose their profits(once again all of them) and last of all bush doesn't care that about children.. its in the conservative mantra... "Love the Fetus, hate the child" Randi Rhodes stated that...
and btw look at how Conservatives look at abortion.... they really don't care about children...only the Fetuses.
He also is probably avoiding the state governors because he is moralily wrong or a moron, not sure which, or maybe both

Answer 2

Why would the president talk to any Governor about YOUR children?

You people need to start thinking about reasons why we were way better off when the government could care less about your children.

You brought then into the world, you deal with it. If you can't, why is it the president's problem, any governor's problem, or my problem?

Maybe Mr Bush has read The Constitution and realizes it's not a Federal issue.I wish!

Answer 5

Bush doesn't care about the welfare of the American children that's why. Incompassionate would be the word here, or in short Republican ideology.

Answer 6

Health care isn't something the government should be involved in
