ok, so this from the nytimes.....
President Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress prepared Monday for a showdown over the future of health insurance for more than 10 million children.
Program Known for Flexibility Trimmed Ranks of Uninsured (September 25, 2007)
Supporters of the legislation, which has broad bipartisan support, mobilized lobbyists — 400 from the American Cancer Society alone — and began advertising to win the votes needed to override a veto threatened by Mr. Bush. The president says the measure, which would renew and expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, costs too much and would be “an incremental step toward the goal of government-run health care for every American.”
The bill would cover four million children, in addition to the 6.6 million already enrolled. The overwhelming majority of those on the rolls are in low-income families. The House plans to vote on the measure as early as Tuesday, and the Senate is expected to pass the legislation a day or two later.
mmnotes....4 million children left out is a lot of children left behind......who is dubya impressing with his niggardly ways at this point?
