"You are going to have to make sure your child has health care" ?

We Answered:

I couldn't find ONE REAL ANSWER that TRULY explained what Obama planned to do to make sure that ALL children has health care if elected President. I'll clue those who aren't already aware of this in on a Civics 101 fact... the President can NOT do diddly squat about this UNLESS BOTH HOUSES PRESENT BILLS & PASS THEM!!

He can promise all these things until he's blue in the face but MOST of them DON'T FALL WITHIN THE REALM OF THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT ALONE!!

I will tell you what a very SMART democratic governor did in the state where I live several years ago. He was in politics for most of his life and knew the system. He wrote up a bill that that passed both of the State Houses that INSURED THAT ALL KIDS IN OUR STATE... NO MATTER WHAT THEIR INCOME... IF THEIR PARENTS DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE... THEY COULD BE INSURED THRU THE STATE!

It's called, ------- (the name of my state) Healthy Kids! What you pay for this insurance is based on a sliding pay scale, but always VERY affordable with most paying little to nothing. Then after that you have access to great doctors, prescriptions paid... the whole nine yards!

It is NOT MEDICAID! I think that EVERY STATE SHOULD HAVE A PROGRAM LIKE THIS!! Why should it always be the Federal Government?!
