Knight Investments support US VP Biden $2.3 Billion in Recovery Act Funds for Children & Disease
July 13th, 2009“In an effort to help improve the situation of child care, disease prevention, & other related causes VP Joe Biden announced recovery act fund appropriations, & an independent international summit hosted by Knight Investments sought to review this”
Knight Investments LLC Officials, Regulatory Officials, Delegation attendees, and a member of the Republic of Aquitaine met earlier today to discuss Vice President Joe Biden’s announcement on the appropriation of Recovery Act Funds towards Children & Disease prevention.
Vice President Joe Biden announced that the Obama Administration will make $2.3 billion available for crucial health and human services programs that help to provide care for children and prevent disease. States will receive $2 billion in Recovery Act funding to support child care for working families. The administration also plans to make $300 million in vaccines and grants available to ensure more underserved Americans receive the vaccines they need.
The $2 billion in Recovery Act funds for the Child Care and Development Fund will allow states across the country to support child care services for more families whose children require care while they are working, seeking employment or receiving job training or education. The funds will be used by states to provide vouchers to families for child care or to provide access to care through contracts with child care centers or invest in quality improvements. Recovery Act dollars will support a wide range of child care providers, including child care centers and home-based programs.
“Parents are worried about finding a job or keeping the job they have and they shouldn’t have to worry about affording quality child care,” said Vice President Biden. “Safe, affordable, high-quality child care gives working parents the peace of mind they need to be stable, dependable employees.”
Knight Investments President Jayson Lopez agreed with this and Chief Financial Officer Montelly Lopez Jr was the central speaker at the international summit that helped to clarify these issues.
The speaker of Knight Investments LLC said that the addition to funding for child care programs was indeed important, and that is precisely why Knight Investments LLC had been reviewing surplus capital appropriations to possibly contribute to this cause. The speaker stressed that such money would help more under served Americans, and affirmed that causes such as this would help promote a better youth in America.
In addition to funding for child care programs, an additional $300 million in Recovery Act funding and grants will help to ensure more underserved Americans receive the vaccines they need. The Vice President’s announcement came as Americans mark National Public Health Week.
Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the majority of these new resources will be used to purchase vaccines, which will be distributed through the HHS’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Section 317 immunization program to all 50 states, several large cities, and U.S. territories. Funding will also be used to support national public information campaigns regarding vaccines and support grants to states that demonstrate innovative new ways to ensure more Americans receive the vaccines they need.
“Vaccines help keep children healthy, prevent costly stays in hospitals, and fight diseases that can lead to serious illness or death” added Biden. “The Recovery Act will help to vaccinate more Americans, cut health care costs, improve public health and save lives.”
Knight Investments LLC affirmed that health was of the utmost importance and presented this claim to opponents of National Health Care.
“What is worse? Waiting a year for health care service? or waiting a year to see if you will even be able to get health care? Clearly the alternative seems to define common sense and while it may be true that there will be faults with a system that need correction…it is better to have an option then to have nothing.” said Central Speaker Montelly Lopez Jr of Knight Investments LLC.
The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) is the primary federal program specifically devoted to child care services and quality. It enables low-income parents and parents receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to work or to participate in the educational or training programs they need in order to work. Funds may also be used to serve children in protective services. In addition, a portion of CCDF funds must be used to enhance child care quality and availability.
The $2 billion in Recovery Act funds for the Child Care and Development Fund will allow states across the country to support child care services for more families whose children require care while they are working, seeking employment or receiving job training or education. The funds will be used by states to provide vouchers to families for child care or to provide access to care through contracts with child care centers. Recovery Act dollars will support a wide range of child care providers, including child care centers and home-based programs.
