House Sustains Presidentâ??s Veto on Child Health
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 â?? The House on Thursday upheld President Bushâ??s veto of a bill to provide health insurance to 10 million children, but Democrats vowed to send it back to him next month, with minor changes, in the belief that they could ultimately prevail.
Despite a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign and intense lobbying by childrenâ??s advocates, supporters of the bill were unable to convert a single House Republican who voted against the bill last month.
