Not many because the vast majority of those stolen funds would be used to fuel the massive bureaucratic machine that would be the socialized system.
Sure the kid may get insurance but when he breaks his arm and it takes 3 months to see the doctor you may have second thoughts about how great the systems is.
What most people do not want to talk about is how the government has caused the current health care crisis by getting involved in the market by forcing people to get licensed or the FDA which has arguably killed more people that it has helped by denying helpful drugs just because its saves face for being more cautious.
Also lets ignore the fact that all children do have health care in a sense in that a hospital can not refuse them service.
Look at it this way what gives the government the right to tell me how to spend my money? Do you honestly think that a bureaucrat knows how to spend my money better than I do on myself? Why not take it a step farther and have government provide food to everyone while taxing the hell out of us?

How many children in the U.S.A. could have health care if their parents went out and got a job?

All children in the US have access to health care. The parents of children are responsible for insurance and for taking care of their children. Not me.
The US government does not have 190 billion in discretionary spending.

That 190 billion is the start up costs , if we adopt such a thing it will make more people who can not afford health care breed more Govt. dependents...
That 190 billion is additional taxes I do not wish to pay , unlike most of you , I do not get a refund on my money , for tax year 06 I wrote a check for over 35 grand to the IRS , I do not wish to pay more because people making over 30 something thousand dollars per year , can buy a new house , new car , boats , go on vacations etc. but can not afford health care for their children ...People need to stop living the high life , and take care of their own d@mn kids ....I had to do it , none of mine had medicaid , or WIC , SCHIP or fod stamps , and when my first was born , I made just 9 dollars per hour ( 1991 ) I had to live on sandwiches , and live in a single wide trailer just to afford the "" NEEDS "" of my son , I do not regret it , I have continued to work my @ss off , I have saved every dime I could , now all three of my kids , have insurance , I have a bigger home ( over 4000 sq ft) and I have saved enough to carry me from early retirement at age 45 up until age 65 when I get the IRA's ...Now tell me why I should give all of that up to insure your kids , I take care of my family to now include my parents , TELL ME WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OTHERS , I take care of my 16 man crew who work their tails off for my company , I pay them well , and still give them extra , I have bought them cars , I even paid the down payment for one guys home to help him get back on his feet after a bad divorce , these guys make me my money I am obligated to take care of them .And yes I help keep them insured as well ......With out them I can not make what I make ....
There is medicaid , and medicare available which I pay in to , half of Hillarys 41 million Americans with no heath insurance are illegal immigrants ( she failed to say that didn't she ) she also did not mention over half of the remaining 20.5 million qualify for medicaid and medicare ,but do not or havae not applied ,the other 7 something million are either between coverage , or those entering the work place who have not gotten coverage yet ........the poor , and unemployed can get medicaid / medicare.. So tell me , where do we need Govt controlled health care , and why should I give up my early retirement to insure your kids ????
I do not want to sound cold hearted , ( even though it does ) but you , and your family are not here for me to take care of , ....If the government would take all the child predators , abusers , killers , and make it a one strike law and a mandatory death sentence on that one strike , You would have the money to cover additional childrens health insurance benifits , do you even know how many billions are spent for therapy , and jail time for these no good low lifes ..not counting the billions spent on pampering other criminals instead of eliminating them from society , they can not act decent , nor were they ever taught to behave , why are we pampering them and spending all this money to keep them happy , they will never contribute to society eliminate them , and use the money for the greater good , not pampering the worst society has to offer ...........it would be the same as those who smoke( death sentence ) paying the addional tax for those who can not afford cancer treatement but could afford to smoke for 50 years .......There are many ways to fund additional care for those irresponsible breeders who make babies and can not afford them on their own , instead of incouraging more irresponsible breeding with free benifits , why not make a law saying you can not keep your baby if you can not afford it in the first place ! and the ones who try to do this will have to pay fines to the government for 18 years after all more , and more Americans want abortion anyway right ? There are plenty of ways to take so we are not needing more free health care , and the ones I listed keep me from taking from my family to give to yours ...WORKS FOR ME >>>>>>>>>>

Every child in America DOES have health care. Don't believe me? Take your kid to the hospital, say his/her arm is broken, tell them you don't have insurance, and then see if they refuse to treat him/her. Additionally, there's medicaid, free clinics, and a whole slew of existing programs for children's health care. If you don't qualify for any of them AND you don't have health insurance, then that's just poor financial responsibility on YOUR part (your cigarettes, junk food, alcohol, brand new car, and cable TV are all more important to you than your family's health care).
QUIT TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T EXIST!
Besides, why should I have to pay for YOUR health care? Better yet, why should YOU have to pay for MY health care?
