WASHINGTON D.C. - Today after thoughtful consideration, U.S. Congressman Dan Boren announced his intention to vote to override President Bush’s veto of the popular children’s health care plan know as SCHIP.

 

“While I still have reservations about the increased expansion of the program and its reliance on a dwindling revenue source, I believe after a search of my conscience that this is the right thing to do for Oklahoma and the country,” Boren stated.

 

President Bush has vowed to veto this legislation in the coming days.

 

“My hope is that the President will do as I have done, and think about the consequences of vetoing this bill. This is an issue that has received bipartisan support,” Boren said.
