AGD Concerned With Presidential Veto of SCHIP Reauthorization Bill
Date:10/4/2007

CHICAGO, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) was extremely disappointed by President Bush's decision yesterday to veto the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) reauthorization bill. The SCHIP bill agreed upon and passed by both chambers of Congress included many important and beneficial dental provisions intended to provide for the oral healthcare of our nation's children.

"This battle is far from over," warned Janet Kopenhaver, AGD's Washington lobbyist. "Our members will be contacting their legislators to urge them to support an override vote of this egregious veto." Legislators' votes on thi
