Kids facing cutbacks in health coverage

Posted on Mar 9th 2007 3:43PM by Brian White
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?
