The Cheese Stands Alone
Bush does know he's more or less alone one this one, right?
It costs $35 billion over 5 years ($7 billion a year or roughly $23 per US citizen per year). It covers more uninsured children for health care. The medical community is behind it, the insurance companies (you know, the ones Universal Care would put out of business) are behind it.
His only supporters are the ones that would stand behind him even if he went on live TV and killed puppies. (Which, sad to say, seems to be a lot of Congress...)
Let's hope the House wakes up and overrides this. (The Senate passed with a big enough margin, the House almost so.)
