Persoanlly I believe they should bring the same bill back and back and back until the public puts pressure on Bush and the Republicans to insure the heatlh of our kids.
 The long-debated, once-vetoed plan to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program will return to the House floor this week, The Hill reports. And Democrats, who overwhelmingly supported the first bill, say they’re open to some changes that could reduce the risk of a second veto.
In particular, Democrats are responding to complaints that their plan went too far. One criticism was that federally-subsidized insurance for children would be allowed for families earning up to $83,000 a year. But as the Hill points out, only the state of New York asked to insure families with that income level. The Bush administration rejected that proposed waiver, as the Health Blog noted.
