Hillary's Vaccine Shortage

A proper MSM would have brought this out when the shortages first started to happen. To try and blame this on Bush is dispicable. I'm simply amazed that the Bush team agreed to the left wing moderators who had the opportunity to slant questions to aid Kerry.

Once you answer a question, you sort of validate it as a legitimate point....even when it isn't.

Also, I wonder if the Bush team knew this. I think they could have used some freepers to help prepare the president. We should try that, during the next election cycle. Maybe we could raise some money for Freerepublic.

Just one more reason to "Fluish the Johns in '04!"

Thanks for the PING Howlin, just hope MSM picks this up. So sick of seeing Bush be blamed for everything!!!!!1

The plan, promoted by the Children's Defense Fund...

It's for the children . . .

"Kerry did not say it but this is what the liberals are thinking to do to manage healthcare."

That's right. Shortages and lower quality of everything is the "hope" that's on the way.

Of course, the elite such as the sKerry's and Clintons will have the first class care reserved for those running the government programs.

Welcome to 1984.

"I think they could have used some freepers to help prepare the president. We should try that, during the next election cycle."

If sKerry is elected, the Internet will likely be government controlled by the next election cycle..."for the protection of the children".

The root of this government role goes back to August 1993, when Congress passed Clinton's Vaccines for Children program. The plan, promoted by the Children's Defense Fund, was to use federal power to ensure universal immunization. So the government agreed to purchase a third of the national vaccine supply (the President and Mrs. Clinton had pushed for 100 percent) at a forced discount of half price, then distribute it to doctors to deliver to the poor and the un- and under-insured."

Hmmmm, in August 1993 when Bill and Hill pushed this effort, wasn't both houses controlled by the demoncratic party? Hmmmm

But then again, maybe Halliburton did it or maybe the richest 1% who got all of the tax breaks (like Mamma TayRayZah) did it? Or maybe Dick Cheney's daughter did it?

IMHO, this one single event ought to oust more democrats from congress and ought to bring a huge loss for John Kerry. But then again, there are a lot of kool-aide drinkers out there whose minds believe what Katie, and Dan, and Peter, and the rest of the MSM tell them to believe.....

[television is just wrong]

IT's Hitlery's fault, I heard it in Bush.

How would we look up to see if this could have been something Kerry voted for?

[Howlin]

We call in the expert in finding stuff like this.

[Howlin]

And this one, too.

Kcvl, can you find out if Kerry voted for this bill?

[Howlin]

This is the name of the bill it was included in:

U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 103rd Congress - 1st Session: On the Conference Report, Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 Vote #247 6 Aug 1993.


In 1993, four years before it enacted the five-year, $24 billion Title XXI block grant, otherwise known as the State Children's Health Insurance Program, Congress made a much smaller but vitally important investment in the health of America's kids: the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. Included in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and funded initially at $500,000, VFC's charge is to assure that poor and uninsured youngsters have access to free immunizations to protect against the array of vaccine-preventable diseases, from measles and mumps to polio to hepatitis B.

Under the program, which was implemented in October 1994 as part of President Clinton's Childhood Immunization Initiative, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) buys vaccines at a discount and distributes them to states, which in turn distribute them at no charge to private physicians' offices and public health clinics. To be eligible, children must be on Medicaid, be uninsured or be an American Indian/Alaska Native. (The underinsured, meaning that their parents' private insurance doesn't cover vaccinations, also qualify, but they must get their shots at federally qualified health centers or rural health clinics.) With 30,500 private provider sites and 10,700 public clinics now enrolled, VFC has helped keep children in a "medical home," by reducing physician referrals to public clinics.
