Barry Welsh: Mike Pence Flip Flopped On Children's Health

CONNERSVILLE, IN - Indiana 6th District Congressional candidate Barry Welsh (D-Connersville) released the following statement Friday, October 19 regarding the vote Thursday by current Representative Mike Pence.

Pence voted to sustain President Bush's veto of the low income children's health program.

"Congressman Pence stood in lock step with President Bush and the veto denying Health Care to Children in the S-CHIP bill. Congressman Pence had to flip-flop in his voting as he had voted for the bill before voting against it.  Congressman Pence thought Health Care for Kids was important and voted for it, until President Bush told him to vote against it.  Pleasing President Bush is more important to Congressman Pence than Health Care for Kids, and that is not representative of Hoosier Family Values and is the wrong priority for any Congressman to use in decision-making."
