Governor Dean Blasts Bush For Threatening to Veto Health Coverage For Kids

Governor Dean blasted President Bush today for threatening to veto legislation that would provide health care coverage for millions of low-income children. Here's his statement:

"It's despicable that President Bush is willing to deny our nation's children health care. How is it compassionate conservatism to stand against ensuring that our children have access to the doctor visits for preventative care and treatment they need? While the President is committed to spending billions of dollars on a failed strategy in Iraq with no end in sight, he is willing to deny health care to our children here at home. Equally shameful, the Republican presidential candidates agree with President Bush's veto threat. The President and the Republican candidates should recognize that the health of our children must be a national priority and join Democrats in supporting this bill."
