Obama extends health coverage to 4 million uninsured children, angers anti-children GOP

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama signed a bill Wednesday extending health coverage to 4 million uninsured children.

...

The bill went to the White House fresh from passage in the Democratic-controlled House, on a vote of 290-135. Forty Republicans joined in approval.

The bill calls for spending an additional $32.8 billion on the State Children's Health Insurance Program, known as SCHIP, which now enrolls an estimated 7 million children. Lawmakers generated that revenue by raising the federal tobacco tax.

Obama said adding 4 million children to the program was a key step toward his promise of universal health care coverage for all.

...

Republicans criticized the cost of the legislation.

...

"The Democrats continue to push their government-run health care agenda — universal coverage, as they call it," said Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas.

Children should take personal responsibility for their health care programs. Send them up the chimneys I say!

Children should get insured through their employers. I bet these good conservative (not to mention God fearing Christian straight gun toting and hard working) children got insurance through their employers. This program is for all the hippie loser kids out there who can't get a fvckin' job.

I feel health care should be a base human right even if that means there are caps on what medical professionals are paid.

If the liberals would stop making babies they can't take care of, then we wouldn't need nanny government to take care of them.
