On Capitol Hill, the Democrat-controlled House has voted to extend a federal health insurance program to cover an additional five million children. The bill expands funding of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, or S-CHIP, by $47 billion over five years. The increase would be paid for by a 45-cent tax increase on packs of cigarettes. The final vote was 225 to 204. The Senate is expected to follow suit as early as today, setting off a showdown with the White House. President Bush has vowed to veto the bill because he says it will encourage government involvement in healthcare.
