Republican Governors Abandon Bush Over SCHIP;43 Governors Support ProgramToday, President Bush again declared his intention to veto legislation that will provide health care insurance to children who have none. This legislation would continue to cover children who are already a part of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, and would extend coverage to millions more who are currently eligible but not enrolled. Despite the fact that this plan has broad, bipartisan support – including support from Congressional Republicans and Governors – President Bush refuses to compromise.Some recent comments from Republican Governors in support of SCHIP:“SCHIP is an important safety net, and one way of investing in our young people that can pay real dividends in wellness and avoided costs down the road. SCHIP works.”- Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter (R-ID), Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Press Conference
