bush planning to veto yet ANOTHER bill. WHERE does it end???

Question

I could hardly believe my ears when I heard that Bush was threatening to veto a health care bill with the number of uninsured americans. Can the president really just veto any bill he wants just because it does not get the necessary votes in the house/senate? It doesn't make any sense. SO many americans are without healthcare, and yet the president still threatens to veto a bill that would help them to get it. Mind you I do not know exactly what the bill is about, but I can only assume it must be something that Americans need, as there are so many upset over the planned veto.

Answer 1

It ends when people actually read something before condemning it. Imagine if he had signed it and then you found out it contained many good elements but 1 attachment you didn't like. Then your question would have been Bush just signed yet another bad bill. Where does it end ? He hasn't even vetoed it yet. Often the threat is made to force congress to re-think what they are asking for or to streamline their attachments. If you want low cost healthcare go get a job that includes medical coverage. It is not the govt's responsibility to keep the people healthy. It is in their best interest but not their duty. Why should some lazy, rampant breeding, trailer park living Springer guest be entitled free medical ? Of the 350 Million or so Americans alive today there are at least 45 million that we would be much better off without. Most of them will log jam the clinics once free medical is a reality. Drop the Little Debbie snack cakes and go exercise. And learn to read before becomming so reactionary, it will help your cardio system. There is a plethora of items to hate Bush and others over, merely guessing and blaming is not one of them.

Answer 2

Here is the problem we are facing.You have no idea what was in the bill yet you are mad at the president for vetoing it.Are you insane?Why don't you just say that you do not like the president and no matter what he does you will put him down?What if the bill had hidden spending or raised taxes?You know just because a bill starts out with health care anything can be attached to it.

Answer 3

Yes he can veto any bill he chooses, regardless of the votes in congress. A true leader uses that veto to protect the American people from greedy corporations and corrupt Senators.

Others like Bill Clinton use it to veto things they don't like (Welfare Reform - twice) then seizes credit for the bill when his veto can be overridden. So, some presidents are at least principled, others are dishonest.

Answer 4

Firstly, you mean without health insurance (hospitals are required to treat the sick & injured, insurance or not, so everyone. poor or rich, has access to healthcare. Secondly, "so many Americans" are NOT without healthcare. The media, Michael Moore, and politicians incorrectly tout the # of "uninsured Americans" to be around 47 million. This is grossly inaccurate. Here's the breakdown of the 47 million "uninsured Americans":

1.) Roughly 10 million uninsured "Americans" aren't American citizens. (9.487 million, according the US Census Bureau)

47 million- 10 million= 37 million

2) 17 million uninsured people CAN afford health insurance, but CHOOSE not to make the investment. (8.3 million make b/t $50,000 & $75,000/ year, & 8.74 million make over $75,000/ yr. putting them far above the median annual household income of $46,326).

37 million -17 million= 20 million (which, btw, is less than 7% of the U.S. population)

3.) About 45% of those who are included in the 47 million uninsured #, are only uninsured for 4 months or less, due to job transitions b/c most get health insurance through their employer. (this according to the Congressional Budget Office)

So when you factor that in, the true number of unisured Americans drops as low as 8.2 million, which is only 2.7% of the current U.S. population.

Answer 5

comprehend a million element: i think of it replaced right into a poorly written bill that for the period of the different condition could desire to have been veto'ed. in reality, Bush has lost the disagreement with the Democrats over this bill and it replaced into meditated in his 24% approval score the different day. it could desire to have been a grimy trick by ability of the Dems to apply a cripped newborn to sell the bill, yet at that ingredient, if Bush replaced into clever (and did not choose the GOP to lose greater seats in Congress), he could have conceded defeat and signed it. all and sundry isn't dumb. They observed Bush ask for $50 billion greater funds to lose err....combat the war in Iraq next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, yet vetoed a $35 billion greenback strengthen to SCHIP that could desire to have been unfold out over a 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days era. besides, it extremely is basically the third veto of Bush's Presidency. it extremely is after he signed distinctive pork-encumbered spending costs that had 14,000 riders for over $25 billion worth of pork barrel classes in it. do not think of for a 2d that reality escaped ninety 9% of usa. to not point out the shown fact that human beings have been already disenchanted over the non-reaction and gross indifference to New Orleans from hurricane Katrina. end consequence, my prediction is that Hillary wins the Presidency and the Democrats seize 2/3rds majority in living house and Senate in Nov. '08. Dumb dumb dumb! edit: And no, i'm not a Hillary supporter.

Answer 6

Yes, he can.

Maybe if the Dems hadn't added $30 billion to it, something could have been worked out.

Answer 7

a little over a year from now.

Answer 8

it will end when he gets a bill that makes sense.

Answer 9

-_-
Anyone who wants healthcare get a job that covers their medical.
And why are you automatically assuming it's something we need??
And if people so desperately need insurance, then perhaps they should buy it.

Answer 10

bush cares more about destroying iraq and then spending billions to rebuild than he does about American health care.
