Can someone explain why a compassionate president vetoes health care bills for the most vulnerable?

Question

It seems like anything that does not divert wealth to defense, oil or insurance companies is not worthy of his compassionate concern.

Answer 1

Because it was the right thing to do. Study both side of the issue before you jump to a (wrong) conclusion.

Answer 2

SCHIP was to get $5BILLION under Bush's plan. How is that not compassionate?

Dems wanted to get universal health care in through the back door. They were going to reach out and take people off PRIVATE insurance and make the taxpayer pay AND they were insuring ADULTS in many cases, not just kids.

Media bias prevents the FACTS from coming out.

BTW, universal health care does NOT work in any country that has it and none of our government programs work either. They all are RATIONED and cause problems.

Health care is also not the domain of the government. It's possible to provide properly without once the public learns the truth about health care and costs imposed by government micromanagement and favoring of the handful of insurers who rake in huge profits and deny coverage--in many cases for very IFFY grounds.

Answer 3

I doubt it. Any bill that manages to pass Congress, Obama will probably decide is good enough to sign into law. The health care reform bills are not his. He did not write them. He set general guidelines for what he wants in reform but left the actual writing of the bills to members of Congress.

Answer 4

It is about time this President veto a spending measure. The government needs to listen to the 50% that pay the bills for a change rather then the 50% that don't and want all the time. Get a job - most of them come with insurance.

Answer 5

OMG here we go again.

it was because the bill had too many flaws, he will gladly sign it once it has been properly revised.

if you did your damn research you would know this.

i am tired of you (lazy, uneducated, misinformed) people complain when you don't know anything about the issue.

if he had actually passed it you would have complained when you learned that it only covered the upper and middle class children that already had coverage, not your own kids that are in the lower class.

it will pass when it is revised. calm down.

Answer 6

Because to the Reps and Cons, all the president needs to do is say it. Words speak louder than actions with them. The president will promise that we will catch Osama Bin Laden and all of the Bush groupies celebrate and praise him, but he never catches him or even attempts to catch Osama. They don't care. He promises immigration reform but doesn't do anything. He promises to ban abortion but doesn't even address the issue.

I don't know if the Bush groupies are too dumb to notice they're constantly lied to by their hero and are basically being taken advantage of by the president for votes, or they're too ignorant to care. Either way, it's disturbing to see these people be taken advantage of yet still worship Bush. It's like the battered wife syndrome.

Where else in our lives do we allow people to make promises to us and then just forget about it and except lies instead? No where. These people blindly support Bush so much that if Bush were to come out today in support of child molestation, they Bush fan club would be on board with his message. It's sad but more so, scary.

Answer 7

cause he loves pain and suffering!,. and is an idiot cause it cost more to wait until a small problem becomes a big problem and you have to go to an emergency room to treat it if they can,. cause it is paid for by all taxpayers by law instead of going for regular checkups that are much cheaper and treated Early and cheaper with nonprofit insurance!

Answer 8

Because he may not believe in governments palace it to provide everything to everyone.

This bill would provide health care to everyone under 25 regardless of income.

Bad Idea

I would get rid of the plan we currently have but I never claimed to be compassionate.

Answer 9

yeah and a lot of people are arguing that he's tryng to be fiscal responsible by vetoing a democratic bill that'll need a lot of funding when he vetoed no bills when republicans controlled the house running the national debt up to record high

Answer 10

Because when you have the riff raff in Congress trying to attach other unrelated issues to this important bill.... there's nothing else to be done.
