 For the next few months the overriding focus in Washington is likely
to be health care reform. Legislation is being debated in several
Congressional committees, and President Obama has called for a bill to
be on his desk before the August recess. However, the topic of children
has not received major coverage so far. At Every Child Matters, we
believe that discussion of this reform must include how children are
going to be covered, and what will change for the millions who are
covered through Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance
Program. As the debate continues, we will continue to keep you updated
on how the health reform process relates to children.In the meantime, here are some ways you can get involved in this ongoing debate:
1. Health Care for America NOW, or HCAN, will be holding a nationwide,
grassroots rally on June 25th, to lobby every Member of Congress in
support of quality, affordable health care for all. Learn more about
the rally, and to find out how to get involved in your state here.

I believe that universal healthcare is going to be to costly. We could start by covering ages 0-5, then progressivly increase the age of personal responsibilty. This way, early lessons on good health habits could be the key to lower costs down the line.
