House Speaker Pelosi Discusses Health Care Initiatives, Other Democratic Priorities For 2008
In addition, Pelosi indicated a possible delay of legislation to renew the No Child Left Behind Act in the event that President Bush continues to oppose a bill to reauthorize and expand SCHIP. She said, "Until he sees a more positive approach to meeting the needs of our children, I don't see how he can expect us to go forward with No Child Left Behind" (Coile, San Francisco Chronicle, 1/29).
Pelosi also has said that Democrats might seek to increase funds for medical research and establish a national electronic health record system. "There is little talk of ... dramatically expanding access to health insurance," the Los Angeles Times reports (Levey, Los Angeles Times, 1/29).
