That is absolutely a challenge and why we need a comprehensive economic recovery plan so those folks can return to the workforce which most would like to do....along with reform of employer-based health care coverage which is part of Obama's health care agenda.
The fact remains that Obama has never pledged free health care for all...or government run health care for all.
In the interim, at the very least, the children of those workers can be covered through the expanded SCHIP program that Obama signed last week (that Bush vetoed twice)
And those children will be covered ONLy until the parents are able to get back in the workforce.
