This program could be so much more than the notion of an uninsured children's platform. This truly is a product that could be targeted at the working poor, those individuals who earn too much for State/Federal Sponsored care such as Medi-cal, Medicaid but yet are not offered health insurance or cannot afford the rates. This is a growing group of Americans who are working very so hard to provide for their families A program to subsidize working individuals who want the peace of mind of not accepting a hand-out and want to legitimately be recognized for contributing to their cost of healthcare is a good program. I would like to see the politicians talk more about decreasing the levels of administration for these programs to free up additional dollars to provide subsidized care.
