UTICA - This week, Congressional democrats plan to resume talks on the "SCHIP" bill. The house failed to override President Bush's veto, but democrats aren't discouraged.

Congressman Michael Arcuri walked the hallways of the Upstate Cerebral Palsy Children's Center, greeting his young constituents, with the understanding that some wouldn't be there without the help of New York's SCHIP - known as Child Health Plus.

"Our experience has been that there are working families who come to us with county support for childcare," said Nancy Seller with Upstate Cerebral Palsy. "Or their children may be preschoolers with disabilities and frankly have no access to health care."

About 800 children whose families use Child Health Plus are enrolled at UCP. Without this financial support, those families would face some serious hardships.

They may be out of work...they may be forced to stay home to take care of sick children...or they may lose what employment they have

Democrats in congress say they aren't giving up on their expanded SCHIP bill, which was vetoed by President Bush.

"This is not a benefit to wealthy people who can afford it," Arcuri said. "This is not going to pull people with an insurance program. This is going to give insurance to people who need it most who to the working class to people who can't afford it for their children not for themselves."

It's an on-going battle among adults, that effects the well-being of our future.
