Educate yourself before you vent your spleen!....Bush is proposing putting additional money into existing health programs in order to assist more people. The reason? Since the recession began, the number of uninsured (which are made up primarily of employees of small companies that have dropped their health benefits, and of people who have lost their jobs) rose from 39 million last year to 45 million this year. Bush is simply expanding the existing safety net to catch some of those who have fallen off the private insurance market. Once the economy kicks in, the safety net can be retracted as the number of uninsured shrinks.
I think there's way too much hysteria on this thread. Look at the facts.
Once the economy kicks in, the safety net can be retracted as the number of uninsured shrinks. Lemme guess, you're another one of those that think Bush is promulgating some covert grand scheme to grow government to enormous proportions now, so that he can scale it back later?
Are there actually people this effen' daft?
