-28,000 American infants die before they reach their first birthday -Uninsured children are almost 9 times as likely to have a medical need that goes unmet than a child with health coverage, and are 5 times as likely as an insured child to go more than 2 years without seeing a doctor. Regular health screenings help doctors identify and treat problems preventively and are crucial to a child's healthy development. -An estimated two-thirds of children and youth with mental health needs are not getting the help they need. In fact, unmet need is as high today as it was 20 years ago. Children without mental health coverage are at risk of entering the Pipeline. -Uninsured children are more than 4 times as likely as an insured child to have an unmet dental health need. In 2000, children missed more than 51 million hours of school because of dental-related illness. -Uninsured children are more likely than insured children to perform poorly in school; in contrast, enrolling children in health coverage has been associated with greatly improved school performance.

I think im the only one that agree's with you. Yes you should get a job and work to get insurance and not worry about living off the government but its not always that easy. Me and my husband both work full time jobs and i also work a part time job on the weekends. I was laid off from my job not to long ago and the new jobs i was able to find does not provide health care. But i needed a job so what am i to do? We both make to much money to get any assistance from the government yet we dont have jobs that will give us health care? obviously i have to take my child to the doctors thats important to me, so our medical bills are outragious! We are having to pay for the doctor bills from his birth! Because i was laid off right before i had him! It sucks and its not fare that even though im working my butt off tons of people are sitting pretty and collecting tons of money from the government yet i cant even get simple health insurance for my son?

So abortion is cruel, but uninsured American children don't deserve health care because that's "socialism"?
