Late night, the Senate passed a bill to support the State Children's Health Insurance Program, by a vote of 66-32. This bill will provide health care to eleven million children. The President is expected to sign the bill into law. This is indeed good news for children and their parents who desperately need access to affordable health care. President Bush vetoed similar bills twice, so this is a big change in the stance of our government.
