You're probably right about the numbers, but my point was that the whole sysytem needs fixed. Some kids should be taken off Medicaid, while many more kids from 'the working poor' need to be added on.

It's really not the kids from extremely poor families that are being left out, they will always qualify for government assistance. It's the people who work very hard for modest wages who are the ones feeling the pinch. The government says they make too much money to qualify, yet after paying for the family's essentials they do not have very much money, certainly not enough to pay for the care of a very sick child.

Bottom line, no sick child should ever be denied medical care.

Absolutely agreed... the "working poor" don't get much slack
from the government.
