Langevin Statement on President's Veto of SCHIP 

 

 
(Warwick, R.I.) “Playing politics with the health care coverage of 10 million children is unacceptable, but that is exactly what President Bush did today when he vetoed H.R. 976, the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, better known as RIte Care in Rhode Island,” said Congressman Jim Langevin. “This bipartisan plan would help over 30,000 low-income children in Rhode Island, without changing eligibility requirements. I look forward to the opportunity to cast my vote to override this unfortunate and misguided veto.”
