since the people on the right like to talk so much about children--the above position, particularly on questions of basic health care--- really does mean that the lives of the children of the poor, of the part-time worker, of the underemployed, of the unemployed are worth less that those of the children of the wealthy.
that is what it means.

Only if you do not understand what created equal means. You continue to try to mash it into equivalency of condition and situation.
I also dipute your assessment that I only view rights as belonging to the wealthy. You are wrong. As I've said before, the SS and Medicare entitlement systems are the mugging of the working poor / young by the relatively more affluent old. Perhaps the parents of the uninsured children could better afford to support them if their earnings were not seized by the government to support total strangers.
