McCain stands with bush in denying health insurance to children...

During the October 9 debate, McCain criticized SCHIP and called on Bush to veto the legislation: "Another one he should veto is the SCHIP program, which he should say, 'Take the 'C' out of, because now it's for everybody, like every other entitlement program.' And, by the way, a dollar a pack increase for cigarettes? So we want to take care of children's health and we want everybody to smoke? I don't get it." On August 2, McCain had voted against the legislation, which would have provided an additional $35 billion in funding over 5 years. In his floor speech prior to the vote, McCain said: "We will be spending billions and billions of dollars providing coverage for children who already have coverage, and I believe this is a dangerous step toward Government-run health care insurance."

Another example of how bush-like a McCain term would be.
