Well it depends on whether we know where the thresholds are; when we don't it really becomes a distribution again.

This week both chambers are expected to pass bipartisan legislation to expand state health care programs for children (known as SCHIP) - a move Bush labels as the first step toward socialized medicine. He says he'll veto that bill as well...
