The only thing that's more astonishing to me than the hypocrisy of the Bush administration is the competing hypocrisy of his supporters. Was it not the "Christian Coalition" that was most instrumental in getting this man elected, not once, but twice? And aren't these the very same people who claim to corner the market on family values? And tell me if I'm wrong, but aren't these also the same people who are waving their flags, and honking their horns, and falling all over one another trying to out-love the troops?

Building on First 5 LA's commitment to provide free or low cost health coverage to children age 5 and younger, the Children's Health Initiative of Greater Los Angeles has raised more than $85 million to expand Healthy Kids so that it includes 6- to 18-year-olds as well. First 5 LA is pleased to be the catalyst that propelled these efforts and is thrilled that the dream for universal health coverage for all children is a reality.
In July 2002, First 5 LA committed $100 million over five years to provide health insurance to children age 5 and under in Los Angeles County that do not qualify for other health insurance programs. First 5 LA publicly launched its Healthy Kids program in September 2003, and to date, more 3,700 young children have been enrolled, with thousands of others enrolled...

SACRAMENTO - Assemblyman Bill Emmerson, R-Redlands, expressed his support last week for a bill that restores $200 million cut from the Healthy Families program.
The program provides health, vision and dental coverage for 700,000 children whose families are not poor enough to qualify for Medi-Cal but cannot afford private insurance. About two-thirds of those kids would have gotten kicked off the rolls in November thanks to deep cuts that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger imposed in July to balance the state's budget.
