Quote	"The president says SCHIP is an unacceptable expansion of government-run health care. That would be a much more compelling argument if the Bush administration also condemned Medicaid and Medicare, which together cover about 100 million people, as socialized medicine. SCHIP covers roughly 6 million now, and the renewal would push it above 9 million. In any case, should kids be caught in an ideological squabble?"
