As we prepare to head back to school, we need to be mindful of the need to insuring children and their families. Covering Kids and Families is the nation's single largest initiative to reduce the number of eligible, uninsured children and adults through enrollment in Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
The Covering Kids & Families Back-to-School Campaign message is simple:
- Low-cost or free health care coverage is available for many uninsured families.
- Enrolling your children for health care coverage should be at the top of your back-to-school checklist, right up there with buying notebooks and school shoes.
- Healthy kids are better prepared to learn.
