MAYORAL RIVALS CALL FOR EXPANDING CHILD HEALTH COVERAGE

New York Times

October 25, 2005

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and his Democratic opponent, Fernando Ferrer, laid out similar health care agendas yesterday, each promising to enroll more than 200,000 children in Medicaid and other government health plans, and to invest in medical technology.

In the article, both candidates duked it out to say who "thought of it first," but the point was that IT WAS PROMISED BY BOTH SIDES.

It's 2007, and we're still waiting.

Maybe the rest of America can (dare I say it?) learn from New York and put someone into power who actually has a brain in his head for a change.

Maybe the Democrats will wake up to the fact that in a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 20 to 1 the Republican candiates have won four straight mayoral elections. While Giuliani and Bloomberg have little in common with Bush there is a lesson to be learned that the voters will pick the moderate over the far left candidate. Of course, that would require someone like Hillary (or Gore or Kerry before her) to actually pay attention to the voters and not only to her advisers or doners.

Remember when Rudy said he thought he should stay on despite term limits cause NYC couldn't do without him?

No. Show me where he said that.

I thought the point of all this development was that the increased tax revenue would benefit the citizens. Instead we get big bank accounts and cuts in city services? I guess it's clear who he's governing for.

true, illegal parkers should not get a break,

this applies to the NYPD, too.

Great, let's finally spend some of this money on making this place better for it's citizens like parks, ball fields, schools and other requirements that the residential folks that need services and account for the majority of the surplus deserve.

P

i kind of wish the city could take all it's extra money, put it in a money bin (a la scrooge mcduck) and let residents roll around in it.

Amazing. People are never satisfied. What does writing tickets have to do with surplus? Why should people who park illegally get a break because there's a surplus? brb, gonna suck some Bloomberg dick. HTFH.

I can't believe this is the same car.

Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet.

Oh, he made a lot of promises, one was taking over the Board of Ed and the other was healthcare for all Children in NYC. And, no smoking in bars.

Can we all rush to suck Bloomberg's dick anyway?

And yet, despite the surplus, the assholes are writing parking tickets like it's going out of style and ripping up grass fields to install artificial turf because they claim it's too expensive to maintain grass ones. what a bunch of shitheads.

I don't recall that being one of his campaign promses - healthcare for all kids in NYC

Let's not all rush to suck Bloomberg's dick just yet.

It's amazing how there's a surplus yet there's no universal health coverage for NYC children, something he promised in his 2005 campaign.

Being a leader is not just about the bottom line. It's about people, too. Remember those....people?

Bloomberg has got the golden touch - no matter where he is he can't help but make profits or surpluses.

Guilty. I voted for Mark Green. That's what makes it all so special.

Remember when everyone (including Gothamist) was bitching that Bloom was using his billions to buy the mayorship?

This guy never stops impressing me.
