But one aspect of The Holiest Man in Washington's JoeCare plan, six years ago:
When I'm President, we will treat the problem - with a real prescription for change.
It's an outrage today that 9 million American children are uninsured. I'll provide coverage to every child with a new plan called MediKids.
Now, the State Child Health Insurance Program is a breakthrough program. But overburdened state budgets and a complicated enrollment process keep coverage from 6 million kids who are already eligible to receive it. We need to support S-CHIP and build on it to ensure all our children are all insured.
That's why our nation's pediatricians, through the American Academy of Pediatrics, have proposed a new model, based on the federal employee program. I've taken their advice and built on it.
My MediKids plan will be convenient and comprehensive. There will be no cost for the neediest families who buy into the pool. Middle class families will buy in at a sliding scale. Of course, if you're happy with your coverage, you can decline. But if you want MediKids, you'll get it - and at an affordable price.
Jo(k)eCare: "a practical, step-by-step approach to universal health care".
