RUSH: The president has followed through on his promise and vetoed that ‘children\u2019s health care bill,\u2019 the State Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program, known here as the ‘bullSCHIP\u2019 program. He vetoed it today as promised. The AP referred to it as ‘a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded the health care insurance for the children.\u2019 You know, this is a true stealth plan to institute the whole concept of socialized medicine throughout society. If you go back to \u201993 and you look at Hillary\u2019s health care plan back then, one of the strategies was: Do everything ‘for the children\u2019 because nobody\u2019s going to vote against children. Nobody is going to oppose the children. Nobody is suggesting the program be cut! The program is ten years old. That\u2019s something I think a lot of people don\u2019t understand about this is, we\u2019re just up for renewal, and what the Democrats want to do is include all kinds of people who in no way meet the definition of poor or children. And the president said, ‘Nope, we\u2019re going to expand the program to handle those who are poor, but we\u2019re not going to go any further. We\u2019re not going to waste taxpayers\u2019 dollars.\u2019 Now, he knows what\u2019s going on. So, on cue, the Democrats took to the floor of the House this morning during one-minute speeches. We have the reliable Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), Allyson Schwartz (D-PA), William Lacy Clay (D-MO) all crying about Bush\u2019s veto.<\/p>\n

SCHAKOWSKY: The president just vetoed the children\u2019s health insurance program. Let\u2019s be perfectly clear. The president is refusing to spend $7 billion a year on children\u2019s health while insisting on $10 billion a month in Iraq.<\/p>\n

DeFAZIO: He\u2019s going to cast the first veto of his presidency! [sic] His target, ten million low-income kids.<\/p>\n

EMANUEL: Nearly one million soldiers will create a very long line in America\u2019s emergency rooms. The emergency rooms are President Bush\u2019s answer to America\u2019s health care crisis.<\/p>\n

SCHWARTZ: The president\u2019s veto makes it clear that health care for America\u2019s children simply is not his priority.<\/p>\n

CLAY: President Bush just vetoed this bipartisan legislation. The president\u2019s opposition to this bill puts him squarely in the minority.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then override it! They\u2019ve got override protection in the Senate, but they don\u2019t in the House. So what\u2019s going to happen here is they\u2019re going to have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a bill that the president will sign. There will be an expansion of the program; it will cover poor children. It\u2019s just not going to cover kids up to the age of 25. It\u2019s not going to cover incomes up to $82,000. Well, the states can do this if they want to. I think ten or 11 states have, and the Democrats are going to go out there and try to pressure 15 Republicans to change their votes in order to get a veto-proof majority on this and they\u2019re going to lobby them. They\u2019re going to put pressure on them to get them to change their votes. We know how that works. Now, the Democrats and the liberals cannot get me to change my mind. They can\u2019t get me to change or buckle to them, but elected Republicans, sometimes, are a little different, especially when you put ‘children\u2019 in the bill. So we\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens. Now, ‘The Politico notes that a 1993 memo from Hillary Clinton\u2019s health-care task force proposed using children as a mechanism in order to take control of health-care delivery for all Americans.\u2019 The Politico is a website that was started up by a couple of guys who used to work at the Washington Post. <\/p>\n

‘Back in 1993, according to an internal White House staff memo, then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton\u2019s staff saw federal coverage of children as a ‘precursor\u2019 to universal coverage. In a section of the memo titled ‘Kids First,\u2019 Clinton\u2019s staff laid out backup plans in the event the universal coverage idea failed. And one of the key options was creating a state-run health plan for children who didn\u2019t qualify for Medicaid but were uninsured. That idea sounds a lot like the current [SCHIP], which was eventually created by the Republican Congress in 1997. ‘Under this approach, health care reform is phased in by population, beginning with children,\u2019 the memo says. ‘Kids First is really a precursor to the new system. It is intended to be freestanding and administratively simple, with states given broad flexibility in its design so that it can be easily folded into existing\/future program structures.” So this document that The Politico has uncovered tells the world exactly what Mrs. Clinton\u2019s plan is. There are people out there calling the SCHIP expansion and the renewal a Trojan horse. It\u2019s exactly what it is. It is nothing more than a trick. It is a precursor. It\u2019s designed to get this country to a full-fledged, government-run socialized health care system, and the hook is to do it ‘for the children.\u2019 The president vetoed it today. Look, all of this stuff works together, the smear of me. Telling you this and giving you this and giving this wide berth and loud amplification and precisely why me, people like me, are considered dire threats to Mrs. Clinton\u2019s future plans. So it\u2019s all rolled in together to try to keep people from standing in her way, on her way to her coronation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
