The News Journal had good things to say today about the children's health insurance signup project we announced Monday (see previous post). But don't take my word for it -- you can read it for yourself here.
One reason that I think this program will be a success is that we are working closely with the community to pull it off. For example, we will be working with organized labor. When I spoke to the executive committee of the AFL-CIO several weeks ago about our effort, I was thrilled with the response. These union leaders, whose members all have health insurance, could not wait to help other families have the same peace of mind as their members. And we will be working with the clergy. I started my career working in the basements and meeting rooms of Delaware churches, offering free legal advice to people who couldn’t afford to pay for it, so I am well aware of the function that churches can serve as a place where families can center their lives and get the help they need.
Tonight, I am attending three political events in Sussex County—the Eastern Sussex Democratic Party picnic, the 35th District Democratic Committee monthly meeting, and the 36th District Democratic Committee monthly meeting. It should all add up to about 200 miles on the Ford Focus, which is overdue for an oil change, so if you see a tan Focus wagon with smoke billowing from it on the side of the road, there is a good chance it is me. Please stop and give me a lift.
