"Bush says he will veto the bill due to its cost, its reliance on a tobacco tax increase and its potential for replacing private insurance with government grants."

Interesting how concerned Bush is about costs when it comes to children's healthcare, but when it comes to fighting an illegal war with a country that did nothing to us, well, hell, we've got trillions to throw away.

There you go again........regardless of the topic it always has to come to the War in Iraq and what we then spend at home. This bill is ridiculous. The way to make health insurance more affordable is to get the government out of health care. Tell me, why do the majority of state refuse to allow their citizens to buy cheaper health insurance from companies in a different state?????? Come now, we hear all the time for all you fracking liberals about how we should buy cheaper drugs from another country, yet you won't let your citizens buy insurance from a neighboring state????? Oh that is right, God forbid that you would actually allow the free market to work, it would put your whole ideology of government must solve the problems of the people out of business.

Or tell me, why must insurance companies sell premiums at a rate that is determined by the totality of the population of a region? To equitably spread the cost???? What that does is only increase the cost. If insurance companies were not required by law to make specific services and treatments available in all policies, people could actually be able to buy insurance that meets their needs and more importantly at a reasonable cost, however, because the government has mandate what services must be provided, government has thus set the price for the premiums.

Get government out of healthcare and you will see prices actually drop. Until we do so, the price will only increase. Making the demand for socialization even greater, but be careful for what you wish for, you may get. And when you do, say good bye to a hole lot of people you currently provide you with healthcare, because it will no longer be worth the trouble.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
