hilzoy makes a good case why bush's "philosophical objection" to a government program to provide health insurance to poor kids doesn't make any sense at all. D at LGM points out, bush isn't an idiot, he's just a dick.
actually, it's quite possible that he's both. given that bush opposes government-sponsored universal health care, changing the focus of the health care debate to sick uninsured children is remarkably stupid.
