Right Choice for Kids, Overturn President's Veto

As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to vote on an override of President Bush's veto of legislation to preserve health care coverage for millions of children currently insured by the Children's Health Insurance Program and extend coverage to millions more who are currently uninsured, U.S. Representative Rick Larsen released the following statement:

"Today, I urge my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to make the right choice for kids and overturn President Bush's veto of bipartisan legislation that would provide health care to thousands of children in Northwest Washington who need it. The President's decision to deny health care coverage to our children was the wrong choice for our country and the wrong choice for Northwest Washington."
