Marian Wright Edelman's Child Watch® Column: "Life and Death and Child Health Reform"
As a child, Devante Johnson’s future seemed to be full of promise. His mother, Tamika Scott, worked hard, managing to raise three boys while pursuing a career, buying a house and completing a college degree. But as we reported two years ago, her family’s middle class security crumbled when her doctors told her she had Multiple Sclerosis and strongly urged her to leave her job because the stress of work would make her condition worse. With the dramatic loss of income and insurance, everything she was building began to slip away as she cashed in stocks and used money from her retirement fund to pay bills.

Marian Wright Edelman's La Columna Child Watch®: "Las injustas disparidades en la salud de los niños: otra razón por la cual reformar el sistema"
En el reciente debate sobre quién merece acceso a cuidado médico en nuestro próspero país, a menudo se olvida el hecho de que la salud es un campo más en que siempre se han dejado atrás a los niños afro americanos y otros de las comunidades de color. De los nueve millones de niños sin seguro médico en Estados Unidos, los de comunidades minoritarias se quedan sin cobertura, o con sólo insuficiente cobertura, a un ritmo mucho mayor que los niños blancos. -

Marian Wright Edelman's Child Watch® Column: "Unfair Children’s Health Disparities: More Reason for Reform"
In all of the recent debate over who deserves access to health care in our wealthy country, one often forgotten fact is that this is one more area where Black children and other children of color have always been left behind. Of the nine million uninsured children in America, minority children are uninsured and underinsured at far greater rates than White children.
