Eliot Spitzer, after weathering a rather nast right-wing smear attempt over the past month, is now threatening to sue the Bush administration if Bush goes ahead with his SCHIP strategy and cuts health care to kids in New York state. Spitzer is doing an event tomorrow with Hillary Clinton, which will be webcast tomorrow at 10:30am.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, and I will say that Spitzer actually knows how to fight.
But the new rules include what Mr. Spitzer called "poison pill" requirements that he said would effectively kill New York's and others states' plans.
"If they come back to us and refuse to budge from the positions they've taken, then we will sue," he said.
Suing the Bush administration to protect the health coverage of poor children? Now that's the Eliot Spitzer we all know and love.
