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.
