Napolitano: Bush budget puts kids' health care at risk

The Arizona Daily Sun

It will take $14 billion over the next five years to maintain the State Children's Health Insurance Program -- much more than the $5 billion the president has included in his budget.

---

PHOENIX -- Thousands of Arizona children of the working poor will lose their health insurance within two years if President Bush gets his way on the federal budget, Gov. Janet Napolitano warned Monday.

President Bush wants to increase funding for the State Children's Health Insurance Program over the next five years by $5 billion, bringing total spending over the period to about $30 billion. And he has threatened to veto anything with a larger price tag.
