How do you feel about Bush's promise to Veto Low/No cost health for children?

We Answered:

well, I really don't like Bush or his politics...but in this case I don't think renewing the children's' low cost/no cost health care program is really going to solve the big problem.

There are SO many uninsured Americans (adults as well as children) I think money, and time could be better spent passing a universal health care program in this country.

Insurance premiums are ridiculous and the cost of medical treatment (without insurance) is appalling! My husband makes too much money to qualify for any assistance programs and we are shelling out $600 a month for medical insurance for ourselves and our son, which works out to 27% of my husband's net pay! To top it all off, we still have a 20% coinsurance any time we actually need medical care!!

In my opinion, it's time to do away with private insurance all together!! I would much rather each working American contribute (through taxes) to a medical program we ALL benefit from as opposed to our current situation where working Americans contribute to a medical program the unemployed and low income benefit from while those who are paying into the program (through taxes) are STILL having to pay out for their own premiums as well!!

Where can I obtain free brochures and fact sheets regarding children's health and other related subjects?

We Answered:

Good for you! Even though we serve just a few families...we still can make a difference. Call your local health department...they were a big help to me and if they don't have the sheet/brochure you want...they'll be able to put you in contact with somebody who can!
