Oregon Children Need Insurance
April 20, 2006
Oregon lags below the national average in providing health insurance to poor people, especially children, an analysis by The Oregonian has found.
Kids can’t choose their parents. Kids don’t choose to be poor. We have a responsibility to kids to help them stay healthy. So what’s with this? Kids who stay healthy spend less time in the emergency room, more time in schools and generally “do better.” As much as our schools seem to be hurting these days, we need to help kids with the best opportunities we can give them.
Besides, less sick kids means less snot. You don’t like snot, do you?
