    "The policies of the government ought to be to help people find private insurance, not federal coverage," Bush said.

    "I happen to believe that what you're seeing when you expand eligibility for federal programs is the desire by some in Washington, D.C. to federalize health care. I don't think that's good for the country," he added.

    Democrats vowed to try to override the veto and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the veto showed Bush had "turned his back on America's children."

    "Today the president showed the nation his true priorities: $700 billion for a war in Iraq, but no health care for low-income kids," added Rep. Rahm Emanuel, an Illinois Democrat. "Millions of American children and their families won't forget that they are on the bottom of the president's priority list."

  4. While they're at it, maybe they'll repeal child labor laws.
