On Capitol Hill, the Senate has approved a revised measure of a $35 billion expansion to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as S-CHIP. President Bush vetoed the first bill last month. The House voted to send the measure back to President Bush last week, but fell short of the two-thirds needed to override a promised veto. The bill would extend health insurance to millions of low-income children through an increase in the tobacco tax. White House spokesperson Dana Perino says Bush will veto the measure when it reaches his desk.
