U.S. House fails to override Presidential veto on children's health care

This past week, Democrats from the U.S. House of Representatives were unable to override a Presidential veto from a week ago related to children's health care in the U.S.

The bill, which would have provided health care for many children in the U.S. who lack insurance, was too expensive, according to its detractors. What do you think -- should part of your taxes go to subsidize health care for uninsured children? The total for this plan was $35 billion in expanded care costs

On Thursday, the override vote fell 13 votes short of passing, with a 273 to 156 count. A two-thirds majority is needed to override a veto.
