Washington, D.C. – House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn released the following statement today in response to President Bush’s press conference on legislation to reauthorize the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
“I was disappointed to hear the President restate his threat to veto the children’s health care reauthorization act, considering his campaign promise was to increase the enrollment of children under the program. It’s time he join the 43 Republican and Democratic Governors, the 270 national organizations and the hundreds of lawmakers in Congress to reauthorize and strengthen SCHIP to provide health care coverage for 10 million American children.” |
