Kerry Campaigns for Kids in Austin
Former Presidential candidate John Kerry brought a different campaign to Austin Saturday, a campaign to get health coverage for more american children. The Massachusetts senator, speaking at the U-T Recreation Center, declared that 11-million children are uninsured, 1.4 million of them in Texas, ranking the state as second worst, behind California. Kerry is proposing legislation for the federal government to take over medicaid responsibilities from states. Surveys show that 88% of uninsured children in Texas have at least one working parent. Hidalgo and El Paso counties rank as having the most uninsured children in Texas.
