Oregon Leaders to Resurrect KidCare

Categories: Medicaid, Oregon

Cute, innocent, and helpless, children are the perfect trojan horse for advocates of government-controlled health care. Though a kidcare program in Oregon was defeated at the ballot box last year, legislative leaders and the governor are going to try, try again.

The Senate majority leader says, of his colleagues in government, "it’s our job to find a way to cover those children because I think the average Oregonian out there expects that when a child has a need that that need is going to be met.”

Yes, we should expect the needs of children to be met. There's already a group of people who are given the responsibility for that. They're called parents.
