The veto on children's health insurance is still just a game. Politicians could give three shits whether poor children get health care coverage or if they died malnourished on a street corner. The Democrats are using the issue as a beautiful expose on the Republican's lack of support for the health care changes in America. The GOP is confident they can turn the debate around.
Evidence is the memo swirling around House Republicans: House Republicans quietly distributed a survey by David Winston, who is close to Boehner, that came to a different conclusion. It said critics of the legislation can win the public debate if they say they favor "covering uninsured children without expanding government coverage to adults, illegal immigrants and those who already have insurance...."
So, remember...it's about crafting the message to manipulate the public and win favor...it is never about expanding health care.
I just wanted to remind you, in case you got hit in the head this morning and forgot what politics was all about or something.
