Tennessee: Bush's veto costs state's hospitals $150 million

Advertisements [?]

Headline in this mornings paper....i hope this is happening in every state across this nation.

~snip~ President Bush on Wednesday vetoed a bill to expand a health insurance program for children of the working poor — a decision that set back efforts by Tennessee hospitals to get an additional $30 million a year for five years to help offset costs of providing care to the poor.

The thrust of the bill was children's health care, but it included a provision to partly restore Tennessee's share of payments for hospitals that treat a disproportionate share of uninsured patients.
