Kids facing cutbacks in health coverage

Are you for or against children without health insurance being able to receive medical care when the need arises? If so, you may know about a national program that has helped 6.6 million children receive health insurance coverage.However, possible cutbacks in this program may be coming as soon as a few days from now, with some states outside of Georgia (and its PeachCare for kids program) facing the issue of uninsured medical care for children.
A federal funding shortfall may beset the Georgia program along with similar initiatives in 13 states. What to prioritize these days when the budget is getting low -- hmm. What would you fund when national health care programs for children can't operate because of inflation, higher enrollment and program expansions?
