Response to: Children remain uninsured

I was very pleased when I found this article. It isn't about Universal Healthcare exactly but it shows that need for a good healthcare system. It is unfortunate that a parent would to proud to provide their kids with preventive care. Parents also think that when coverage runs out they will be faced with large bills but wouldn't you be faced with bigger bills if you didn't have insurance. I think that if the group that was providing the healthcare didn't advertise it as much as for poor children but just for children in general, then they would able to market it better.

I think it is really great that people are trying to get health insurance to children so they can grow up healthy.

A comment left on this article was that single mothers sometimes don't like to release the name of the father because of abuse and stuff. Maybe if the enrollment was easier and required less information, things would be better.
