Okay, now I know what my liberal neighbor was talking about. She said Bush was trying to sneak in a health care program that would take away SS and had it attached to the Homeland security bill and that's why the democrats won't pass it!

I wondered what she was talking about, now I know..

Bush proposed big increases for the new year for state and local emergency personnel, public health systems and dozens of other counterterror programs. With lawmakers of both parties expressing support, the only question seemed to be how much they would add to his plan.

AND

These include his fiscal 2003 proposals for:

—$3.5 billion to help first-responders pay for items like protective gear, chemical detection equipment and training, compared to $924 million in 2002;

—$4.3 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to battle bioterrorism, a $1.3 billion increase. This includes money for research, laboratory improvements and purchase of anthrax vaccines.
