"The program is going beyond the initial intent of helping poor children," Bush said at an appearance in Cleveland last week. "It's now aiming at encouraging more people to get on government health care. . . . It's a way to encourage people to transfer from the private sector to government health-care plans. . . . I think it's wrong, and I think it's a mistake."

Memo to George W. Bush: the reason working poor families might "transfer" to government health care for their kids is that they can't AFFORD the ever-rising cost of today's premiums! That means more and more families will have to drop private health care in the future going forward.

Geez, even Orin Hatch is on board with this one!
