AP: Bush Vetoes Bill to Expand Children's Health Insurance -- "President Bush, in a confrontation with Congress, vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children's health insurance. It was only the fourth veto of Bush's presidency, and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks for their party in next year's elections."
Bush says the plan he vetoed would be a push toward "socialized medicine." What say you?
