Darlene Hooley: “Again, all I want is a chance for it to be brought up so we can look at all of the different ways. I think we can do it…”

On the recordMarch 13, 1997
Again, all I want is a chance for it to be brought up so we can look at all of the different ways. I think we can do it within the current system, but I would like to see it brought up so we can have that debate on how do we solve this problem, how do we cover our kids with health insurance, a critical issue, one facing an incredible number of families. Just think about it, three kids every single minute. We have been talking I do not know how many minutes, but three kids each of those minutes we have been talking loses their health insurance. It is an issue we just have to face.
