Tell us: Who has the best health plan for these kids?

GARY LOCKE HAS!Governor Gary Locke’s plan is for every citizen of our state to have access to quality, affordable health care, especially our children. Governor Locke’s plan puts an emphasis on women and children’s health care:

Gary Locke expanded the Washington Basic Health Plan so that 500,000 needy children can get free medical care.

He acted so that 133,000 working families can get medical coverage.Since he took office, Governor Locke has dramatically increased prenatal care, new-born care, children’s immunization and other vital prevention programs.

The Bush health care plan resulted in Texas being:

49th of 50 states in the percentage of children without healthinsurance. More than 1.3 million children are uninsured. (Children’s Defense Fund Yearbook 2000, Census Data ‘97-’99)

49th of 50 states for uninsured Americans - 23% of its residents are uninsured. (Associated Press, 10/12/00)

47th of 50 states in public spending on health. (Washington Post 10/24/99)

A federal Judge ruled that the Bush plan did not provide adequate health care for 1.5 million children and ruled that Texas must take immediate “corrective action.”

(Dallas Morning News 8/30/00, U.S. District Court Opinion,

Judge William Wayne Justice, 8/14/00)

AL GORE HAS!Al Gore and the Administration’s plan worked to ensure that two million childrenwere able to get free medical care under the Administration’s Children’s HealthInsurance Program (CHIP).

Al Gore’s plan continues to fight for children’s health care:Gore’s number one health care priority in the next four years is tohave every child in America covered by health care.He will hold states accountable for signing up eligible children for healthinsurance.He will expand health care coverage to working families by extending CHIPto parents.Al Gore will work to pass a strong Patients’ Bill of Rights so health care decisions for children are made by their families and their physician, not insurance company bureaucrats.

It’s time to stop talking.Washington’s children need Al

Gore’s and Gary Locke’s health care plans.
