Its a shame that we live in the richest country of the world. yet 3.8 million children are uninsured. 33.000 of these children are in my District. This bill is not about politics. its about helping hardworking families and the poorest among us. Leaving children uninsured is unacceptable. With health care costs going up. working families are on the edge. Expanding coverage is the only solution. I am disappointed that this bill does not cover pregnant women and children who are legal permanent residents. This is a health care issue. not an immigration issue. A simple prenatal exam can detect future complications and prevent costly visits to the emergency room. This would save tax payers millions of dollars in the end.
