Today President Bush vetoed the bipartisan Medicare bill that would have prevented a 10.6 percent cut in doctor pay for Medicare fees. His statement explained he objected to roll back elements of the private pay-for-service Medicare Advantage plans. The bill passed both chambers of Congress with veto-proof majorities. Congress will attempt to override the veto “as soon as possible,” said Carol Guthrie, spokeswoman for the Senate Finance Committee. “There’s no time to waste.”
Update: House voted 383 to 41 in favor of overriding the President's veto.

George will find any reason to stop Americans from getting medical help. Now that blank check the Congress gives the White House is ok. Notice how anything the American people need there's a problem but we can give money to Iraq and contractor without a problem. We gave Iraq 250 million dollars for there bank in the safe Green Zone, it was robbed. The US said don't bother to investigate the robbery we'll just replace the money.
