No child left behind was an education policy. It was not an health care program.
If the you pay for the health care of the children of parents who can afford the insurance, it makes less money available for those who can not afford it.

no child left behind is an education program not a healthcare program.
They need to present a bill that doesnt include people who can afford to pay for healthcare without goverment help.
you do realize there are 6 million children without healthcare who qualify for the current child healthcare program that is in place, but do not have the coverage becuase the parents have failed to enroll them in the program.
It is hard to have healthcare programs that works if the parents are too lazy or stupid to enroll their kids in it.

In my opinion, Bush vetoed the bill because it was not a child health bill.
Bush said the bill was unacceptable because — like the first one — it allows adults into the program, would cover people in families with incomes above the U.S. median and raises taxes.
Bush's statement further said. "Ultimately, our nation's goal should be to move children who have no health insurance to private coverage, not to move children who already have private health insurance to government coverage."

So? If those working class and middle class parents want their BRATS to have health insurance they can another job or make those brats get paper routes or something! Our President Bush needs every penny we can scrape up for the war and nation building in Iraq.

his definition: giving americans a miniscule tax 'break' so that they can put it towards 6 days of health insurance through the private sector for their children. If they cant afford it, it's because they dont work hard enough (sarcasm).
