TO EXPRESS THE GOAL OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS AND AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE AND TO DECLARE THE WEEK OF MAY 1-7, 2005, AS "COVER THE UNINSURED WEEK" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, five hundred thousand South Carolinians do not have health care coverage; and
Whereas, eight out of ten of the uninsured are in working families that cannot afford health insurance and are not eligible for public programs; and
Whereas, uninsured South Carolinians are sicker and die younger because they are forced to go without the health care they need; and
Whereas, a slow economy, high unemployment, and rising health care costs mean that more South Carolinians are becoming uninsured in our State; and
Whereas, the week of May 1-7, 2005, is "Cover the Uninsured Week" to support the goal of having all Americans covered with adequate health insurance. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly express their goal that all South Carolinians and Americans should have health insurance coverage and declare the week of May 1-7, 2005, as "Cover the Uninsured Week" in South Carolina.
