It's depressing to find educated adults who can't see the value in preventative care for childhood ailments. You're just wrong about my approach to this, too, if you think I can't see the value of preventative care for childhood ailments. I simply don't think it necessary, appropriate, or wise to make it a legal, Federal entitlement.

I can't say I want to continue this. I raised three kids in the 60s and 70s without any great degree of Medical attention. One broken bone among the three of them. My daughter broke her arm at age 8 on Thanksgiving. It sounds like you had quite a few problems with at least one of yours. That no doubt changes your attitude. We are "back dooring" in a lot of Government medical attention for poor kids. I don't know how much difference it has made, and would be very suspicious of any stats on it. I do know it is driving up medical costs, as any Government program does. But I am resigned to the Federal Government taking over Medicine. They are doing it with a "Salami" approach. I hope by the time they have got total control of it that I am not using it anymore.
