The Party of No: House GOP denies health care to kids
Budgets are about priorities. And the House GOP just sent a crystal clear message that their priorities don't include health care coverage for kids.... even in a deepening recession... even when largely paid for by the federal government.
Today, the Missouri GOP said "no" to making health insurance more affordable for over 20,000 kids--- with the feds standing ready to pay three quarters of the cost.
That while the GOP House members enjoy full-boat state health insurance coverage for themselves, their spouses and their own kids.

Jay Nixon on GOP's "grievous error"
“Yesterday, the Missouri House of Representatives turned down an opportunity to provide health care to 2,000 Missouri children, eliminate premiums for 19,000 others and take the first step to enroll 20,000 more children.
"By refusing to make a minimal investment of $1.9 million in the health of our kids, House Republicans turned away $5.5 million in federal matching funds from the Children’s Health Insurance Program and sent a disappointing signal that health care for Missouri children is not one of their priorities. Health insurance for Missouri kids remains a top priority for my administration, and I look forward to working with the Senate to correct yesterday’s grievous error.”
