not a privilege.  Although I’m not a fan of celebrity statements on political issues, I do appreciate when they use their ability to have media coverage, and they are well researched to make a statement.
Today I found a blog entry by one of the actresses of Desparate Housewives talking about the need for all children to have health care coverage.

I have to admit to being totally confused why our leaders need to debate whether we should cover all children. Use all the cliches you can find: they are our future, they are the leaders of tomorrow, etc. etc.  My Congress people seem to have no knowledge of this information. Coverage for children is one of their rights; not a privilege.  Oh wait, maybe it’s because the US hasn’t ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children.

Or maybe the marketing industry needs to give a lesson to our government about the wealth of children?
