The president said he also wants to support governors who come up with innovative ways to help their citizens get insurance coverage.

Under his proposal, states that put in place a basic health plan for all of their citizens would get access to what he calls "affordable choice grants." The grant money would come from programs that now reimburse providers when they care for the indigent.

"By taking existing federal funds and turning them into Affordable Choices grants, we will give America's governors more money and more flexibility, so they can help provide private health insurance for those who need it most," Bush said.

3. Lulling customers into a disaster.

Affordable choices, does that mean you are in your 30- 40's heart trouble is down the long road, you don't pick it up. Horrors, you have a heart attack. What do you do? You don't have coverage. This is the type of thing bush is pushing, because he wants to cut coverage provided by the companies. And the public are gullible.
