Reply #60: After three posts to the same poster on Kucinich's S-Chip vote the poster

[slipslidingaway]

dropped the issue.

In the end Kucinich was finally able to achieve health care for children who had been dropped in the 1990's, too many people wanted the quick and not so comprehensive fix.

Kucinich held out for all children who had been denied.

And this poster never replied to one of my posts, but at least they dropped that talking point which was used to smear Kucinich.

First of all Bush had already threatened to veto the SCHIP bill... then when language was removed from the bill which would cover legal immigrant children and pregnant women, Kucinich voted NO.

Many had been waiting since 1996, see links below, Congress finally included (2009) those who had been excluded.

Kucinich was on the right side of history, it just others awhile to catch up.
