Child Health-Care Bill Signed

In hopes of making health coverage available for all Americans, Obama signed a bill that extends health insurance to low-income children. In contrast to our previous administration, in which two similar bills were vetoed by bush, child health care is now becoming a priority. This bill is the beginning of Obama’s health reform policy, and “While this bill is short of our ultimate goal of health reform, it is a down payment, and is an essential start” said Henry Waxman. The bill includes dental coverage and it requires states to provide equal coverage of mental and physical illnesses. I also agree that this is a good start for Obama, because the fact that he was able to implement his policy effectively is a sign of how he is bringing the “change” he always talked about during his campaign.
