May 2, 2007, 9:40 p.m.America today still a super power?
We say not!!
Children, Retired, US Veterans without proper health care.
Perhaps CONGRESS needs to focus funds on her own citizens, bite the bitter pill and learn a thing or two as to HEALTH CARE from Canada and Great Britian.

May 2, 2007, 9:50 p.m.For those who dont have healthcare,there are relief programs out there. Medicaid is for families without insurance and who dont go above a certain income level. Then, depending on the state, there is a program where children only can get healthcare, with the parent paying a monthly premium that wont break the bank. The resources are available, it takes a lil homework and effort to find the help. NJ has this program, www.familycare.org

I think that number is a little on the "flat" side; more like 3 out of 4 kids go without health care. And, how about us adults?

May 3, 2007, 2:30 p.m.Healthcare is expensive, and will get even more so when fewer people have insurance. Sick people don't make good workers. Injured people who can't get help don't make happy partners. Kids who have toothaches and headaches and asthma don't make good students.
Does society care? No. The old-headed thinking of "Communism = any kind of social anything," is really a problem. What's so wrong with having universal healthcare? Or universal childcare (it should be a part of the school system, IMHO)?
Some hospitals won't even see you without your insurance info at the ready. People without insurance don't get the same quality of care as those with it, simply because the hospital can't afford to be a charity organization.
Housing, childcare, healthcare: three things most Americans can't afford, at least of any quality.
Ahh but we can watch TV! Yes, there's the answer. TV.

May 3, 2007, 2:33 p.m.Oh, and a ride in an ambulance (even if you flatly refused service), will cost you $1,500 to start... just to go to the hospital... even before the treatment starts. Emergency care, if nothing else, should be free. It's not like anyone asks me if I want to go to the hospital if I get sick. They just call up an ambulance and send me off... and I get a bill, for services I flatly refused (due to cost).

May 3, 2007, 6:23 p.m.So I work hard and have health care for my children. Now the government wants me to pay even higher taxes for someone else to have "free" health care? Hell no. I pay enough taxes to the government. They spend the money foolishly.
What needs to be done is to have the child's parent work and have the employeer made to have insurance for thier employees. But that is too easy of a fix.
We live in a give me, give me for nothing soceity. Makes me sick. Pardon the pund!

May 3, 2007, 6:42 p.m.first off 1 in 4 is a number not a stastic, and there is no way i will believe it is 3 in 4 wihtout health care. but your democrats in the congress want to take away the 1000 dollar per child tax credit because it is only for the wealthy. hog wash, you let them take that away and then i will believe the 3 in 4 number because the "less fortunate" have more children and that 1000 dollars means a whole lot more to them.

May 3, 2007, 8 p.m.I know one thing for sure, 'If every Congressional leader or our President/VP, had family members who were not able to afford healthcare for their children', something would be done to correct the problem before their next weekend off.
I had to get a tetnus shot the other day, office call & shot cost me $90.00. Most working families can not afford to pay out that kind of money for a shot & an office visit, along with the loss in wages & extra gasoline costs, not on todays wages.
Everyone should have access to affordable healthcare!
