Did anybody else see Bush wants Universal Healthcare

[Progressive_In_NC]

Sounds like he wants to put it through on his watch to:

a) Boost his legacy
b) Steal the item from the Democrats election ticket
c) Somehow make Insurance companies even more money

Check it out:

===================================================
Clinton unveiled her plan as Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said President Bush wants to achieve universal health care before he leaves office.

Leavitt told the USA TODAY editorial board that Bush will veto a Democratic plan emerging from Congress that would add $35 billion in taxpayer subsidies to the Children's Health Insurance Program over five years. In doing so, Leavitt said, Bush will urge Congress to join him in seeking coverage for all Americans.
===================================================

Something just doesn't feel right about this.
"He'd like to see the larger debate begin," Leavitt said. "The very best opportunity we have may well be in the next 15 months."

3. Bush: "I belieb no board member or major stockholder shud be without health insurance"

or organ donors if they need them. Therefore, if you make under $150K a year, and you have debts of $20K or more, your organs can be taken to settle yur debt and keep a valybull contributor to the Republican Par--to society--alive."

4. You won't get health insurance, but you'll get a free bus ticket to church

where you can pray you don't get sick.
