(This was the limit that the Bush administration itself wants.) Eliminate new option for pregnant women, eliminate coverage of parents; terminate coverage of adults immediately. Eliminate the crowd-out study (which is worthless), then also either eliminate the new option to subsidize children's insurance (and their parents'), the preferred option or (if the Democrats are ambitious or still hate Bush and believe a bill that includes it could see a veto overridden) retain it but limit it at 250 per cent of poverty level household income. (The valid claim then is that the bill attempts to insure all children at 250 per cent or below, and the bill is only about children this time.)
