Veto on kids insurance

President Bush vetoes expansion of kid's health insurance program. The bill would have added thirty five billion dollars to the health insurance program over five years. The insurance program gives coverage to parents who make too much to qualify for medicaid, but not enough to buy insurance for their children. In my opinion president Bush should have left the bill pass because it would benefit the children who do not have health insurance. Also parents that make too much and dont qualify for health insurance , are being left out and should be helped out by the government. In addition health insurance as a whole in america is really screwed up sometimes because, lets say you need a operation for your heart, the first thing a doctor does is check your insurance to make sure you can afford it if you cant then you are screwed. I think that the government should help out does that cant afford health insurance even if means to spend billions of dollars. Instead of wasting billions of dollars in the war with Irag they should take that money and help out children who do not have health insurance. Furthermore instead of wasteing our money in foreign affairs we should take care of the problems at home first. The children of america are our future and we should help them out by being able to provide for health insurance, its not their fault that their parents dont make enough money to afford health insurance. Why should they suffer? The president is wrong for vetoing this bill he has clearly made a bad decision and should be corrected. If the president was put in the same situation as a parent who cant afford health insurance i bet he would want the government to help him out. No good can come from the president vetoing this bill, the people in goverment should fight against this decision and try to make the bill pass. Finally i believe the government should help out children in need of health insurance because it would save life's of children.
