There is no gray on whether or not, if we can cover 10 million kids, we should. There is no gray for most folks. I don't think there is any tinge of partisanship on the basic instinct that parents want to make sure they provide health care for their kids. But if that is not the priorities that our colleagues on the other side of the aisle share, what is? Well, I think a glance at this chart will demonstrate what their priorities are. This chart details 37 days in Iraq and what that would pay for if we were comparing it to what we could pay for to cover children's health care. One day in Iraq costs $330 million in funds that we appropriate.
