Children's Health Care -Trick or Treat

On Halloween, President Bush announced that the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) reauthorization bill currently pending in the Congress was a "trick." Congress passed bipartisan legislation to expand SCHIP and help children get the coverage they need. The bill would have covered almost 4 million additional children. The federal cost of the program would have been an additional $35 billion over 5 years. The program has helped reduce the number of uninsured, low-income children by one-third. However due to inadequate funding another 6 million children who qualify for SCHIP or Medicaid remain uninsured as a result.

Is the SCHIP reauthorization bill a "trick" or is the president just failing to medically “treat” millions of children? Make your opinion known.
