I agree, and the thing is, Radix, there is actually help out there and most people don't know how to find it. For instance, in Illinois, we have "Kid Care", an insurance program for kids that don't have other coverage and there is also CHIP (Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan) available to "uninsurable" families. These are in addition to help from other privately funded organizations. The problem is, people just can't find the information.

What my rep and I are working on is a "one stop" informaton bureau. Rather than throw more money on "mandated" health care, welfare, etc. We are trying to create a place that would pool all the resources available and then get that out in the public so that people have access to the programs that are already available.

I feel blessed and honored that she asked me to serve on her round table. She's an outstanding rep. I had to search everywhere for resources. Luckily my resource needs were not financial, they were "information & support". But there are families that have that need, and those resources are available. We just need to match the needs to the people!

Let me correct that to, my rep is working on that...I am just on the round table providing my 2 cents. The brilliant idea was my reps.
