Miller votes down child health insurance

   January 29, 2008

Veto Override on Children’s Health Insurance Program Extension and Improvement – Vote Failed (260-152, 19 Not Voting)

The House fell 15 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to override President Bush’s veto of this bill reauthorizing and expanding the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Our congressman, Jeff Miller, voted No.

Pensacola has a major children’s hospital that would benefit from the insurance program. Yet the local congressman votes it down.

Pro: Veteran’s Hospital Con: Children’s Hospital

Children don’t vote.
