Bush vows veto of kid's health insurance plan
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Thursday vowed to veto a reported deal in Congress to expand a children's health-care insurance program, accusing Democrats of wanting to send him the legislation to score "political points in Washington."

He threatened to veto the expansion because, he said, it would "raise taxes on working people and would raise spending between $35 million to $50 million."

Later, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fired her comments directly at Bush. "The president is wrong when he says Democrats want a political victory," said the California Democrat. "What we want is a bipartisan bill. What we want is health care for 10 million children."
