Uninsured Children Caused By STUPID ADULTS

Not By Government Inaction

This is a reoccurring theme with me and this story just punctuates my previous position on the subject.

“WASHINGTON -- A new study shows one-third of the roughly 8.4 million American children without insurance go without medical care for an entire year.

In comparison, nearly 88 percent of insured kids received care during the same period. The five states with the highest levels of uninsured children not receiving any care included Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which released the report, noted that more than 70 percent of those uninsured children would be eligible for free or low-cost health coverage under Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

Those two government programs have helped reduce the number of uninsured children by about 2 million since 1998. Although eligibility varies, programs exist in every state and the District of Columbia.

The programs cover doctor visits, hospitalizations, prescriptions and more.”

While sHrillary Clinton and John sKerry continue to beat the drum on the Democratic mantra that we need new government programs in order to provide healthcare for CHILDREN, what they and most of the exempt media refuse to recognize and admit in their public statements is that the taxpayers are already paying for healthcare for kids.

As I’ve said all along, we’ve raised and educated an entire generation of ADULTS that are just too damn stupid, or are too busy buying beer, cigarettes, and drugs, to find out about and enroll their children in these existing, expensive, taxpayer-funded programs. Many times they are just too lazy to take to their kids to the doctor.

This is the absolute worst form of child abuse, and if the government started cracking down on and prosecuting these negligent parents, the kids would be better off and my wallet would be safe from the likes of Clinton and sKerry.
