President Bush (only a few months left, folks!) was trying to gut the SCHIP program for uninsured kids, and I'm actually not sure what happened with that. In some states, there is better coverage for kids than others. In Massachusetts, their attempt at universal coverage has lowered the number of uninsured people in the state, overall, but I have not seen the hard numbers vis-a-vis how many children are still left without insurance. - NurseKeith Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:54:28 +0100 http://www.nurselinkup.com/content/view/236/1/#comment-40 Yes, things are getting worse. In the ambulatory care clinic where I work in the NYC area, more and more uninsured people are coming in requesting applications for free care. It is very sad to see so many kids without insurance. Many of them are not up to date on their shots and are sent by the schools. We are usually overwhelmed in September with such cases. - SunnyRN Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:43:53 +0100
