Attack of the Governors...
Monday, February 26, 2007
Robert Pear of the New York Times has this article about Governors of both parties splitting with the White House over child health coverage: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/27/washington/27govs.html?_r=1&hp&oref=sloginKey graphs: WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 — Governors clashed with the White House on Monday over the future of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, an issue that some members of both parties said was as important as money for the Iraq war.
Governors said the Clinton and Bush administrations had encouraged them to expand children’s coverage and had granted waivers allowing them to cover parents and even some childless adults. Having successfully expanded the health insurance programs in their states, some governors now suggest that the Bush administration is pulling the safety net out from under many children....And yes, the last paragraph... Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, a Republican, said federal aid was essential to his $12 billion plan for universal health coverage. Mr. Schwarzenegger said that in a private meeting he told the president, “We need the federal government’s help.” He did not say whether he got a commitment.Labels: Bush
