Paul Simon Joins Democrats and Child Health Advocates

September 22, 2009 —Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid joined musical legend Paul Simon and child health advocates at a press conference last week to underscore the importance of health insurance reform for children. "It would benefit the country in the long run economically to have a healthy group of young people, and in the short run, I think it benefits the soul of the country to reach out a hand in compassion to show that we care about all Americans," said Simon. Echoing Simon's powerful words, Senator Reid said, "If there were ever a time where we had troubled waters, it's now. And if there were ever a bridge we need over troubled waters, it's passing comprehensive health care reform."
