Tough Luck, Kids: The President Wants to Veto Your Care

President Bush has vetoed only three bills in the last seven years. One vetoed bill would have hastened the U.S. withdrawal from the disastrous civil war in Iraq. The other two would have expanded federally funded stem-cell research, which may hold promise of cures for devastating illnesses.

Now, the president is poised to issue his fourth veto. This time, the losers will be the nation's poorest children, who stand to lose federally funded health care. Is this compassionate conservatism? Many members of the president's own party don't seem to think so.
