A bi-partisan rally on a federal insurance program for kids

It's rare to see Republicans and Democrats agree almost across all lines on anything these days, but there is one rather large health issue right now that seems to have banded the parties together in rare form: the health insurance of children.

As I posted on a few days ago, the federally funded program known as the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) -- one that provides health insurance to six million U.S. children -- is under assault from the latest budget figures from the current Presidential administration.

As a result, many powerful politicians from both sides of the fence are jumping in to support more funding and support for the program. Said Senator Bob Casey from Pennsylvania, "Justice cannot abide nine million children with no health insurance ... this is my top priority, as far as domestic issues, and I believe it's the top priority of Democratic senators as well."
