President’s veto of health care bill insensitive

In vainly attempting to defend his veto of the SCHIP Child Health Care Bill, President Bush actually said, "No one goes without health care in America. After all, you just go to an emergency room."

The last time someone said something that insufferably ignorant and insensitive, it was, "Let them eat cake," perhaps not by coincidence a statement from someone else who acted as an absolute monarch.

This most cruel and heartless of vetoes would  increase the real cost to government by cutting back on preventative care.

Those emergency room visits are not free to the patients either, who get dunned into bankruptcy with outrageous charges.

Bush would sacrifice the health of an entire generation of children, including all the babies with whom he is so fond of posing for photo ops.

Our congressman, Eric Cantor, is one of the people who supports this veto. The American Empire is collapsing and this is one of the reasons why. We deserve it if we keep these ignorant people in office.
