Placer County program aims to insure kids

“A new program in Placer County aims to ensure that every child age 5 and younger has health insurance.
The First 5 Placer Children and Families Commission this week unveiled the program, which works to enroll eligible children in government-funded insurance programs and offers a new health insurance product for those from families whose incomes are too high to qualify.
Coverage costs between nothing and $15 per child, with a maximum monthly payment of $45 per family. Eligibility is limited to families with incomes less than 300 percent of the federal poverty level, about $60,000 a year for a family of four.”
Who’s the Placer Co official behind this one? Don’t we have enough budget problems in this county? You’re telling me someone making $60K a year is elgible for public assistance? So where were the Placer Co. Stupivisors at when Oracle and HP are paying $30K for most of their lower level employees? I guess these folks should be on food stamps and in public housing.
