Dean lashes out at GOP over health plan (radio address)

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Saturday criticized Republicans in Congress for not supporting legislation to expand a popular children's health care program.

"The Republican leaders have made their choice. They want to stay in Iraq and deny our kids health care," Dean said in the party's weekly radio address.

He said Republicans support significant borrowing to continue wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but won't support the legislation to increase spending for the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

Dean also offered his prayers to those affected by the California wildfires and thanked firefighters, the National Guard and others who are lending a hand.

1. They need to call a different name.
Instead of the State Children's , ect. Call it the Healthy Children Act. Take the "State" out of it and send it back.

We need to use different name, change the talking points and frame the debate differently. Words do matter.
