President Bush twice vetoed a bill to provide insurance coverage to 10 million lowincome American children of working parents. The administrations reason for this veto just doesnt stand up. No Federal funding will be spent on undocumented immigrants in this bill. If they are. they are on the States. the State of Texas or whoever else. to pay for it if they allow illegal immigrants on the CHIP plan. In 1 year. childless adults are taken off the SCHIP program. even though this administration issued waivers to allow them to be on it. Only lowest income children are covered. with a prohibition on coverage for over 300 percent of poverty. and still the President vetoed it.
