Democrats push for passage of SCHIP expansion bill
House Democrats predict enough votes to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program to add up to four million more children while facing a veto threat from President Bush. Republicans split, with moderates seeking party unity for a veto override and some opposing immigrant-child wait periods. The bill would raise cigarette taxes and require waivers for waivers on income rules, with SCHIP set to expire soon and Democrats aiming to extend it temporarily.
