A POSITIVE APPROACH FOR CHILDREN

Lewis A. Barness MD

Children are the country's future workers and taxpayers, its future leaders, artists, teachers and scientists. Today's children must shoulder tomorrow's national debt, finance its Social Security system and lead this country into the 21st century. Wise investment in children now is sound economic policy in a time of fiscal restraint. Research proves that children's programs that provide services like prenatal cane and immunization save us more money than we spend on them. It costs about ten dollars to provide a baby with a series of immunizations, compared to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a lifetime of care for a child with severe disabilities caused by preventable sickness.
