Opponents of insurance bill play immigration card – SCHIP
Tagged: children, insurancePosted on: November 4th, 2007
Once again, illegal immigration is helping tie Congress in knots.
The subject has been injected into some seemingly unlikely discussions this year, including debate over a new farm bill.
Now it has become a major hang-up delaying renewal of the popular State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which Republicans and Democrats alike largely support.
The House and Senate twice have approved bills to renew SCHIP. President Bush vetoed the first bill and is threatening to veto the second, which received final approval from Congress last week.”*
