Madam Chairman. this week the census bureau released a report showing that for the first time since 1998. the number of uninsured children increased. Of the 8.3 million children without health insurance. minority children constitute a disproportionate share. The latest census figures also show that a record 46.6 Americans lack health insurance. With crucial issues facing the country such as the health care crisis. a broken immigration system. shortfalls in homeland security. and a stagnant minimum wage. I am baffled that the Republican leadership would spend precious time on horse slaughter legislation. I do not want to minimize the importance of banning inhumane slaughter of horses for purposes of human consumption overseas.
