Today, George Bush vetoed a bipartisan bill to extend healthcare to more American children. This bill was supported overwhelmingly by Democrats and moderate republicans (a dying breed, it seems), but was opposed by Bush and extremist right wing republicans.

Bush, the man who thinks American parents should use Emergency Rooms as their primary healthcare option for their children, once again shows he represents nothing but the most extreme right wing views.

The response from Families USA:

And MoveOn.org is leading the effort to get Congress to override Bush's mean-spirited, anti-families veto.

Lobby your Congressional Reps (from BOTH PARTIES), urging them to overturn Bush's veto of our children's health. And watch very carefully which Congressional Reps support American Children and which ones support Bush and the right wing extremists.

You can also read about what some Governors are doing about this denial of basic healthcare to American children. And you can read about why our healthcare system is NOT WORKING for most Americans in an analysis I did back in 2006.
