Attorneys general from eight states have filed lawsuits against the Bush administration over proposed federal rules that would limit the number of children eligible for health insurance. The Bush administration recently proposed new rules to restrict eligibility for the federally subsidized State Children’s Health Insurance Program. Meanwhile, President Bush has renewed his threat to veto legislation passed last week by Congress to appropriate $35 billion for the children’s health insurance program. Backers of the bill say the money is needed to extend health insurance to four million uninsured children.
