This bill doesnt go as far as I would like. but its a good. bipartisan effort. It addresses the issues raised by some on the other side of the aisle. The bill President Bush vetoed never provided health care to illegal immigrantsdespite the incorrect claims coming from the other side. This bill makes that even clearer. The bill President Bush vetoed never provided health care to families making $83.000 a year and neither does this bill. The bill President Bush vetoed took 2 years to phase out adults currently on the SCHIP program and this bill speeds that timeline up to 1 year. Let me be clearunder this bill. families who can afford health care will not be eligible for SCHIP. Under this bill. illegal immigrants will not be eligible for SCHIP. Under this bill. adults will not be eligible for SCHIP. But 10 million American children who dont have health care will get the help they so desperately need.
