The Associated Press reports that several states are taking the Bush administration to court to block its plans to prevent the states from expanding SCHIP moderately low income families.
The administration seems to have a two pronged attack on the State Children's Health Insurance Plan. The first is his promised veto of the $35 billion expansion of the federal program, the second is this administrative effort.
He seems determined.
A story in today's Washington Post about public opinion on the issue makes one wonder why:
"...a sizable majority [of the people surveyed] support an expansion of a children's health insurance bill he has promised to veto, putting Bush and many congressional Republicans on the wrong side of public opinion on upcoming foreign and domestic policy battles."
Are Republicans setting themselves up for a perfect storm in 2008?
