Except this time, the Americans are poor children. I can't believe he would veto a bill that takes money from cigarette sales and puts it towards health care for poor, sick children. That is awful! Unfortunately, I couldn't find the whole of the clip that was shown on the Daily Show, but here's what Jon Stewart had to say. As usually, he pretty much sums it up in my opinion.
I want to freaking bite Bush' head off! What the hell? Since when do we WANT kids to die? Bush supporters say that this bill is a step towards government controlled health care for all Americans- I say, would that really be so bad? Other countries have successful national health care programs. Why not us? But I'm getting ahead of myself. SCHIP would expand an already successful program and save children's lives. Bush says that $35 billion over 5 years is too much money, but we are pumping $4 billion a day in Iraq. I think we can spare $19 million a day to provide health care to poor, sick children! To me, these amounts of money are unbelievably high, but it seems to me that if we can spend $9 quadrillion on an unnecessary war, we can spare some money for our children.
