Kids Come First Act needs support

By Daniel Sczokak / Staff Writer

"They won't put kids first, but we will!" Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry announced in his e-mail newsletter on Jan. 26, 2005.

He's referring to the Kids Come First Act, a health care bill he introduced a year ago as S.114. He continues to be optimistic, although it doesn't look like it will become a law anytime soon.
...

But at the time I'm writing this, not a single republican senator has. Only 11, all democrats, have become sponsors or co-sponsors so far.
...
I urge all readers of the Eastern Echo to contact Levin and Stabenow and tell them to co-sponsor the Kids Come First Act. Contact information can be found at their official websites, stabenow.senate.gov and levin.senate.gov.
