"Don't veto diabetes!

The American Diabetes Association has just sent out an
e-mail, in which they say that the U.S. House of
Representatives has recently passed a spending bill that
provides the first funding increase in two years for
diabetes prevention programs at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and research at the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). The Senate also passed this
bill, and now it is on its way to the President.

This should be great news.

However the President has stated that he plans to veto this
bill."

Veto the bill.

As an American, why would anyone want this bill vetoed?

I hate foisting our politics on you, but since the Democrats took control of
Congress, Bush has suddenly become very conservative in spending. He was
very generous when the Republicans were in control and spent money like
drunken sailors, running up a huge deficit, but now he can claim that the
Democrats are spending too much and that he's holding the line.

He did the same for children's insurance and a host of other items. The
Congress has overridden one of his vetoes. Let us hope for more overrides,
especially when it comes to health.
