What about uninsured children? Or is there such a thing? I thought the GOP was pro-life.
   
In GA (as I'm sure in other states) there is a program for healthcare for children of low or no income families.

In all the arguments I've heard, there is no distinction between un(der)-insured adults and children.

Don't laugh...I'm serious (series) about this.

Then what are you bitching about? You said yourself there is a program in GA and other states to deal with this.

Yeah, Carl, that Child Health Plus is VERY generous.  The income level threshholds are fairly high, and the benefits are extremely high.  Everything for free. 

And, yes, king zero implemented S-Chip first thing, funded by me and Frank whenever we light up.

They bitch and moan about smokers being a burden on healthcare, yet how many children are we making sure have healthy lives? I've said it before, if they used the taxes we pay on smokes, on OUR healthcare, we would NOT be a burden. The fact is, y'all steal the money we pay for other services! So ESAD!!!!

We have it in California, it's called Mexicaid.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
