Bush: "I don't want the federal government making decisions for doctors and customers"
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 06:53 PM by Minimus
bush actually said this about his veto of SCHIP!!!!!

What about the federal government deciding to ban that rare late-term procedure that they love calling "partial birth" abortion? Isn't that making decisions for OB/GYNs and their patients?


You'd think I'd be use to the hypocrisy by now.

:argh:

5. Mustn't. Think. About. The. Hypocrisy. Smile and wave while your child dies.
And let me just say--AGAIN--Americans are not customers or consumers. They are AMERICANS and they deserve healthy children.

7. Hey, Caligula - let me enlighten you. Doctors don't HAVE "customers".
They have "patients".

Doctors are not MERCHANTS, you moron. Medical care is not just a BUSINESS for PROFIT.

I'll say it again: we need to embark on a mass manufacturing project for THESE:
