Funding For Community Health Care Centers

On June 29, 2009 First Lady Michelle Obama announced the release of $851 million in grants to address immediate and pressing health center facility and equipment needs and increase access to health care for millions of Americans

"Community Health Centers provide care to the Americans who need it most and their work has never been more important," said Obama. "These grants will help Unity’s Upper Cardozo and thousands of centers across the country expand and serve more Americans who simply can’t afford insurance coverage anymore. ."

President Bush Is Wrong For Denying Children Healthcare

Presently I have good health coverage, but each enrollment period I brace myself to see what changes my insurance carriers will make. I just found out this year, my insurance no longer pay for routine eye exams. What pisses me off more is how private insurance companies are slowing hacking away at the medical coverage Americans get.

It also angers me that President Bush thinks so little of American children when it comes to healthcare.

UPDATE

Three generations of activists tried to teach President George W. Bush a new song about health care today. Flanked by congressional leaders, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney and members of the Alliance for Retired Americans,

A group of children kicked off a Capitol Hill press conference today singing:




I don’t want your millions mister.

I don’t want your car and wealth.

All I want is SCHIP, mister,
So kids like me can have good health.

It's About Time

I hope Michael Moore's movie,Sicko, bring more awareness about the Health Care Crisis in America and attention to the Health Care Insurance Industry. People are dying because the Health Insurance Industry has become greedy and are denying necessary medical treatment to it's paying customers.
