President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed a bill extending health coverage to 4 million uninsured children, a move he called a first step toward fulfilling a campaign pledge to provide insurance for all Americans.
This is unbelievable, what is he doing?
I mean, the country has not yet able to stand firm because of the economic crisis and now he's extending health care insurance for kids? The cost of health care and the burden of health care financing would literally destroy the economic base of the country.
The amendment covers illegal aliens and adults over 30 years of age. How on earth are those people gonna stand up for themselves when they're sucking up other peoples fortune while those people worked hard for it.
I guess this would mean to say that all should "Work harder! Millions on welfare depends you"
The children's health bill calls for spending an additional $32.8 billion on SCHIPI, which now enrolls an estimated 7 million children. Lawmakers generated that revenue by raising the federal tobacco tax.
Health officials project that there are about 8 million to 9 million uninsured children in the United States.
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.
Most Republicans, though, criticized the cost of the legislation. They also said it will mean an estimated 2.4 million children who otherwise would have access to private insurance will join the State Children's Health Insurance Program instead.
