Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said GW Bush would like some sort of universal health care before the end of his term.

Leavitt stated that Bush will veto a Democratic plan that would add $35 billion in taxpayer subsidies to the Children's Health Insurance Program.... Leavitt also stated that Bush will urge Congress to search for a way to ensure coverage for all Americans.

"He'd like to see the larger debate begin," Leavitt said. "The very best opportunity we have may well be in the next 15 months."

  Utopia is just around the corner. Just this one more program and we'll have it. We'll live forever and the state shall wither away.
