New York Moves Toward Better Health Care for Children

What a difference a progressive governor makes! New York has passed a bill funding health care for nearly all children. This makes New York one of a handful of states to cover children with health insurance. And it is about time that New York State (and others) move towards this coverage. It makes good long-term sense — healthy children will do better in school, have fewer behavioral problems, and will have a better chance of staying healthy as an adult. Next step: health care for everyone!
