title: Now that we've gotten their attention, let's gets some more services for children!
abstract: In 1991, the message has finally gotten through to the news media and the U.S. Congress that "there are a lot of children in desperate need throughout this country!" Concerning benefits, with federal, state and local money combined, the elderly have at least a three-to-one advantage over children. Children are at greater risk today than they were ten years ago, and there are significant geographic variations in the health and well-being of our children. Now that the media and politicians are willing to use these issues, the time is right to make the best case for our children.
