http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gov-bill-richardson/were-taking-george-bush-_b_68641.htmlOn October 2, 2007, President Bush put ideology over the children of this country by vetoing an extension to the children's health care program known as SCHIP. SCHIP funds basic health care for over 6 million of America's children in all 50 states -- mostly children from poor families with little or no access to other health services.
Here's what our President -- tone-deaf on health care, as on so many other issues -- had to say about health care back in July:
"I mean, people have access to health care in America. After all, you just go to an emergency room."
Unbelievable. What would George W. Bush - son of a President, grandson of a Senator - know about trying to get basic health care through an emergency room?

I'm joining the Governors of states from California, New York, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, Arizona, and New Hampshire -- and we're taking President Bush to court.
