As opposed to something like passing a law and providing funding saying - every child is covered from birth until the age a majority, regardless of household income, fluctuations in household income, household assets, fluctuations in household assets, address, employment, or having caring parents or guardian?
Imagine a 16 year-old child in Texas (Texas one state I looked at, has household income and asset requirements). He gets a part-time job and that income causes him to lose coverage. Or, imagine he get a small inheritance for college or starts to save for college, and his assets causes him to lose coverage? And they call Bush's veto "heartless"? Wow! Again, Democrats don't get it.
