Bush Democrats clash over children's health insurance
President Bush denounces Democrats for pushing a CHIP expansion he would veto while Ed Rendell warns 15 states face no funding by month’s end if the bill remains unsigned.

The measure enjoys broad support in Congress though Bush cites cost and federal overreach.
