Don't subsidize health care for the non poor

Bush would veto the bill to expand child insurance. A White House spokesman said “The proposal would dramatically expand the Children’s Health Insurance Program, adding nonpoor children to the program, and more than doubling the level of spending. “This will have the effect of encouraging many to drop private coverage, to go on the government-subsidized program.”

Nonpoor children, huh? I have an idea... we could pay for children's health care by dropping taxpayer-covered insurance for the non-poor President, Vice-president, and the rest of the fat cats in Washington. This will have the effect of encouraging many of them to purchase private coverage and go off the government-subsidized program.
