"The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children."

"The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill."

It's true that McCain had the worst score — 10 percent — in the Senate from the Children's Defense Fund for 2007. But it's important to note that McCain's score was so low because he missed eight of 10 votes that the fund evaluates. On the two issues remaining, McCain voted for one (raising the minimum wage) and against one (expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program, called SCHIP).

Children don't need healthcare, only old people do.

I see that you don't have children.

I was a child myself once - didn't go to the doctor all that much.

Don't know. I think I am glad that I have insurance coverage for my daughter. Think all parents should have it -for themselves as well as their children. And their parents, too. Don't want to support a politician that doesn't share that view. The market has failed the American people on the healthcare front. It does worse than any government anywhere in the world. Time to get real. McSame won't.

Fair enough man - go with what you believe is right.

I'm not necessarily opposed to a national healthcare plan if it's done right.

Time to stop looking for INSURANCE for all and start looking for HEALTHCARE for all.

The Children's Defense Fund is a far-left group. McCain voted against the child health care bill because it raised the qualifying income to households making less than $62,000 a year. Do we really want to subsidize health care with taxpayer dollars to other than low income people? Our country is 9 trillion dollars in debt and we can not afford to pay for healthcare for everyone. It's a great idea in a Utopian World. The problem is that Liberals are headless hearts. They think they can solve all problems by the expansion of government which means higher taxes for all and will ruin our economy. Think twice before you blindly vote for Barack Obama.

biggest problem here in the US is that healthcare is all about the $$$ and little to do with actual care
