A child died in the past week of a tooth that got infected. On his school bus coming home from school. Another child died from an infection that started from a tooth.......the mother needed $80 to get the tooth pulled. Unable to raise this money, the childs infection from his tooth went to his brain, The government spent $250,000.00 after the infection went to his brain. This boy died too. Another child died, after 4 months of not being able to get radiation treatments........caught up in red tape, denied medicaid.
The Petition
It is unacceptable that the richest nation in the world denies its children health insurance. Show Congress that they must change legislation and give every child the coverage they deserve.
The government says there is no money for these children, think of how easily the money is spent to fight in Iraq. Three and a half months in Iraq....the money used..........would cover 9 million children for a year in health care. We drag our feet for our children in raising money, but hardly think twice about going to war.
Please sign this petition so that all children have health care in America.
Thank you in advance,

ps...........Please send this site to everyone on your email list...........if you have ever seen a child suffer needlessly.....you can appreciate how much this needs to pass.
