The Bush administration, engaged in a battle with Congress over whether a popular children's health insurance program should be expanded, has announced new policies that will make it harder for states to insure all but the lowest-income children.

New administrative hurdles, which state health officials were told about late last week, are aimed at preventing parents with private insurance for their children from availing of the government-subsidized State Children's Health Insurance Program. But Democrats and children's advocates said that the announcement will jeopardize coverage for children whose parents work at jobs that do not provide employer-paid insurance.

Well those greedy little buggers don't need health care!They don't need immunizations and well baby care or dental care, just let them wait until their older and then they can get a job, maybe in one of those lovely mines that Bushy relaxed all the safety regulations on, that's it, we will send all the middle and low income kids to the mines to work for their health care. This way they can kill two birds with one stone, Kids bring out the coal, if they get trapped, oh well, their parents will just have to make another one, then the mine owners won't have to pay for health care! What a genius Bushy is!
