I never said "poor," though you're correct it's usually the underpriviledged who are also uninsured.

What do you mean, most kids are either healthy or screwed? A kid born with a congenital heart defect isn't "screwed" these days, as long as he has the funds to get treatment for it. I'm going to charitably assume you don't know what you're talking about, rather than the alternative, which is you think you do and still don't care. The weak should die off before they drag the rest of us down?

I thought you were all in favor of more and more cops. Weren't you?

I guess it comes down to viewing crime as a symptom rather than a disease, Cobra.

I'm saying we had an opportunity with the government surplus to maybe address some of the problems our country has right now. Advocating a healthcare plan that covers all children isn't necessarily an attempt to close your precious class gap. Don't worry, just because Johnny Quintelas isn't coughing up blood doesn't mean he's necessarily going to be competing against your kid for that last Exeter spot, Chauncy.
