So the crazy socialists at MomsRising are joining their capitalist overlords to make money to try to design more unaffordable government programs. Nutjobs, all of them. Maybe we shoudl just turn over our entire paychecks to the governement and let them ration toilet paper too us as well.

If they promised everyone a Mercedes and a mansion in the sky would you believe that, too?

Oooh a Mercedes and a mansion!

No, Rahab. I'd just love all children, esp. those with chronic health problems, to be able to have healthcare so families don't have to go broke caring for them. Among other things.

The US spends more on health care per capita than any other nation

So if we already spend the most, how is throwing more money at this going to help? Where does momsrising come up with an intelligent answer to rising medical costs? No where they just say give us more tax dollaras and that will fix it. But it won't. It will just make those of us who are middle class poorer so we will all have the same standard of living: a really crappy one. The government controls the VA system - you don't hear about any vets with insurace choosing that over private care.

We do not have children being denied lifesaving care in hospitals - it just doesn't happen beyond a fluke here or there which would still  happen if we all throw our entire paychecks to the government and work as slaves. Further we have medicaid for poor children.

Throwing out the "But the poor children bit" is rubbish.This will lower the quality of life for millions of lower middle class families thus creating more children living in financial dire straights.
