Vera, your positions are so amazingly vapid most of the time. It has not been publicized because IT IS NOT PART OF THE HEALTH CARE BILL! STOP REFERRING US TO FUNDIE SCARE TACTICS! Governor's and states have been advocating this since 2002. It is now part of the Education bill.
How gullible you are to believe a site that claims it is neutral on health care for all, yet offers its own form of health insurance, and is part of the religious right. It's goal is to defeat this bill at all costs. And what a crazy racialization on your part! If a child was found abused and neglected, the first thing you would do is blame social services and "the Dems."

From Whitehouse.gov:
Help new parents and newborns with a home visitation program. The President’s budget proposes $8.5 billion in mandatory funds over 10 years for a new home visitation program that provides funds to states for evidence-based home visitation programs for low-income families. The program will provide states with funding primarily to support home visitation models that have been rigorously evaluated and shown to have positive effects on critical outcomes for children and families. Additional funds will be available for promising programs based on models with experimental or quasi-experimental research evidence of effectiveness that will be rigorously tested to assess their impact. Home visitation is an investment that can yield substantial improvements in child health and development, readiness for school, and parenting abilities to support children's optimal cognitive, language, social-emotional, and physical development and reductions in child abuse and neglect.

Actually, the reason I sent this was because we as Black people should be very concerned about the government coming to our homes to 'inspect.' Don't we have enough problems here in Dane County with their tendency to lock up Black parents for disciplining their children? Don't we have enough problems with the school social workers & police questioning our children without our knowledge or consent?
