I attended a presentation by Jim Koppel of the Children's Defense Fund on making health care (including mental health) universally available to children in Minnesota. I asked Jim why anyone would oppose such a "no brainer", I mean really, who doesn't want health care for kids? Apparently those who are making money and want to maintain the status quo and don't believe another "entitlement" program is necessary.
