It is a fact that a lot of families belong to the low income bracket of the economic strata in the United States. Many of them cannot afford to buy three square meals for their everyday sustenance, more so get an insurance for their kids and for themselves.
But, President George W. Bush didn’t mind. He brushed off the statistics aside and voted against the program that’ll give children below the poverty line a chance to have a health insurance (also known by the acronym CHIP). A lot of people have criticized Bush for it, saying that his decision was heartless one. Nevertheless, the voting Senate was able to disregard the veto of the President and had the program approved.
