It is important for all of us to have healthcare coverage: children, adolescents, adults, seniors, U.S. residents and non-residents alike.
Sometimes I hear someone say, “I sought medical coverage but they only gave me emergency care.”
Why?
“Because my children were not born in this country. It is a shame,” they say, “because I pay a lot in taxes for it.”
I have medical insurance but only for my daughters. My husband and I purchased a private health insurance plan through Kaiser Permanente. My experiences with them have been good. I have had that insurance for 11 years.
But it is a shame to hear someone say that they do not have health insurance for their children. I don’t think anyone should be denied health care.
