Quote from the Washington Post Thursday, July 15, 2004; Page A21>>

"The Census Bureau found last year that almost 44 million Americans had gone
without health insurance for the previous year. That number has been
increasing by roughly 2 million a year. Families USA, a consumer group, says that
almost 82 million people, one out of three below age 65, were uninsured at some
point during 2002-03, most of them for at least nine months.""

Guys and gals....I don't care what your politics are.....in the richest
country in the world, this is a national scandal and shame.

When failed CEO's can walk away from a looted ruined company with $100
million plus payouts, why can't we insure children and working families? (There are
up to 25 million WORKING people have no access to health insurance.)
