WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards accuses President Bush of caring more about tax cuts than health insurance for children in a new campaign commercial.

It was set to air Wednesday night in two early-voting states.

"I think given a choice between more tax cuts for multimillionaires and covering innocent children who have no health insurance, the American people will stand where this president won't. They will stand with these kids who need help," Edwards tells a group of people -- mainly senior citizens -- gathered at a town hall-style meeting.

The senator from North Carolina says there are 41 million people in America with no health insurance, of whom 12 million are children.

He then vows in the 30-second spot to insure every child
