Bush, SCHIP, and Med School

From a NYT article today, this is Bush's explanation for why he vetoed a SCHIP expansion bill supported even by his own Republican contingency:

“It is estimated that if this program were to become law, one out of every three persons that would subscribe to the new expanded Schip would leave private insurance,” the president said. “The policies of the government ought to be to help poor children and to focus on poor children, and the policies of the government ought to be to help people find private insurance, not federal coverage. And that’s where the philosophical divide comes in.”

Well, he got that last part right. It is definitely a philosophical divide. Between him, and sane people. Because that's what insanity is: when things don't make sense and they aren't getting better, but we keep on ignoring intelligent stimuli because we're...not sane.
