| 4 |
| coverage; and
|

| WHEREAS, Eight out of ten people who are uninsured are in |
| 6 |
| working families; and
|
| 7 |
| WHEREAS, There are more than 8,000,000 children in America |
| 8 |
| without health care coverage; and
|
| 9 |
| WHEREAS, Uninsured Americans live sicker and die younger |
| 10 |
| than those who are covered and suffer needlessly because they |
| 11 |
| go without the health care they need; and
|
| 12 |
| WHEREAS, The price of health care continues to rise, fewer |
| 13 |
| individuals and families can afford to pay for coverage, and |

| employees; therefore, be it
