The State Children's Health Insurance Program is a federal-state grant program that subsidizes the cost of insuring children in families that make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to purchase private health insurance. By making sure children have access to health care we can help to reverse the future of diabetes and the staggering costs of this disease.
Right now, one in every three children born will develop diabetes if current trends continue. For minority children things are even worse, with one in two African American or Latino children developing diabetes.
Medical bills are more than double for people with diabetes than without - this is a burden that families covered by SCHIP simply cannot afford. Yet a child with diabetes but without health insurance, is a child that is not only at high risk for the immediate life-threatening complications of diabetes, but faces a future with the increased likelihood of the long term complications including blindness, kidney disease, heart disease and amputation.
Don't worry though, The US house just yesterday passed it again. The Senate is expected to pass it next week and President Obama will sign it into law this time
This so-sorry commenter likely has one thing right, left-wing thought control and groupthink are likely to play a big part in who gets paid back for their votes for Obama last November.
No new roads!!
