Kerry article in Miami Herald
Help parents raise healthy kids

BY JOHN KERRY

American families put kids first every day, working hard to give their children opportunities they never had. Washington, however, turns a blind eye as 11 million children in America -- 646,390 in Florida alone -- go without health insurance.

As I traveled the country last year, I had the special privilege of meeting great families every day -- good people who love their communities, love our country and are determined to build a better life for their kids. Their stories are the driving force behind my Kids First plan.

Since I introduced my bill in January, more than 500,000 people have signed up to be citizen co-sponsors, and thousands more have called in to give personal testimony about why insuring every child is so important.
