Bush Plans to Stop Overnight in S.D. to Promote Health Plan
President Bush, planning a cross-country tour to promote his solutions to the nations’s health care problems, will make an overnight stop in San Diego late next week, according to the White House.
Bush is expected to arrive Thursday night and is scheduled to visit the Logan Heights Family Health Care center the next morning, followed by a luncheon speech to the Rotary Club at the Harbor Island Sheraton, Republican Party sources said. The trip is part of a three-stop tour, during which he will unveil details of his health-care reform package, beginning with an appearance Thursday in Cleveland.
Earlier this week, he announced a plan to provide tax credits of as much as $3,750 to help needy families buy medical insurance.
Other components of his broader health care proposal are measures to allow workers to change jobs without losing health coverage, to enable small business to offer affordable insurance to employees, to cut administrative costs through regulatory reform and to restrict medical malpractice litigation.
Bush will return to Washington Friday night.
