Under SCHIP, over 8 million American children were provided much needed health insurance coverage they wouldn't have had otherwise. My step-daughter, Addison, was one of them. It was the most significant plank in Hillarycare that was actually signed into law.
What would have happened to Addison under the right-wing Reconstructionists? This little girl would be dead today.
While you guys toss all this up as theoreticals. Real life beckons. Lives are in danger from war, sickness, disease, and other conditions that we as a society can address. The right just seems too lazy, greedy, brainwashed, or uncaring to do anything about it.

Do all children see doctors?
I need car insurance because I drive a car, house insurance because I live in one. But health insurance because I'm alive?
Bro, these government programs are not because of virtue.
Listen in the county of Broward, we must register our bicycles. If they are stolen they can track the bike "if" found. Now, the real reason for registry is to find out who has what, in case there comes a day when they need what we have. Insuring children for health care, has another reason. A reason which has nothing to do with anyone's well being.
