Millions of children go each year without health care because their parents do not make the cut and because of this they suffer. Hopefully the government will stick to their plans to make CHIP better and able to reach more families. The government needs to see this step as an influence upon the rest of the country, not just Texas has children with out health care. I see this as a step toward a brighter, healthier future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-12901790484302453472007-03-19T14:19:00.000-05:002007-03-19T14:19:00.000-05:00We always hear talk from the politicians that they...We always hear talk from the politicians that they will do this or do that to better the education of our nations children, or to help out the less privilegded to live a better life, etc. Finally we see some action! For once, our government is actually setting forth to do some of the good that is seemingly always promised but never fulfilled for the American people. Let us hope that CHIP's progress is only the first of many steps to come in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-47578635540692389322007-03-19T13:26:00.000-05:002007-03-19T13:26:00.000-05:00I'm glad to hear that this new bill will make heal...I'm glad to hear that this new bill will make health care easier to get for children of working low income families. Health care is a big issue with low income families and many children in Texas and the rest of the nation have been withut it for a long time. A huge burden will be lift from working families if they know that health care will cost less time and money. I'm also glad to see that the bill is making it to where more people will qualify for CHIP. So many times welfare programs are set in place that make it seemingly impossible to qulify for. It is nice to seesome legeslation that is moving in the other direction. Not that this bill by any means will solve the problem, but it will give some much needed relief to some very deserving people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-85915557829465988892007-03-19T10:21:00.000-05:002007-03-19T10:21:00.000-05:00Finally!

This bill's progress shows that we are ready to take steps that provided much needed aid to lower income families. If it passes this bill can eliminate so much hassle, stress and worry for millions of parents and finally help children who are in great need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
