Whats going to happen to the children?

I was reading an article on SCHIP the other day stating that Bush has once again vetoed the policy. I think it is horrible that he is continuing to deny the American people of the necessary help of healthcare. With the increasing costs in healthcare there has been a decline in those receiving healthcare or that are insured. Children need healthcare because I feel it is necessary for their survival. We want our children to grow strong and healthy but we refuse to provide them with the necessary help that they need. Bush stated that he doesn’t want healthcare to fall under the responsibility of the government. I feel that we are not as advanced as we thought we are as a country. There are smaller and less privileged countries out there that provide free healthcare to all residents. Why can’t we be the same and provide free healthcare to all Americans? We should not be fighting for the president to continue a program that helps parents who are not poor but cannot provide healthcare to their children, we should be fighting for the president to provide free healthcare to all. The U.S. is far behind when it comes to family policy. We need to take care of the people in this country first before we can help rebuild other countries. I think that’s what most countries like England have done; and that’s what makes them successful. I think we are only successful because of force and not because we deserve it. The SCHIP program is very important to providing healthcare especially to those children who are in the midst of chemotherapy and other life threatening diseases. Once all the funding for this program has depleted all those children will be dropped entirely from the program and will be left to fend for themselves. These children and all children need healthcare because without it, it seems like they are doomed. Bush has continuously vetoed this program with no remorse for the lives of those children who depend on SCHIP. -Jennifer
