A Healthy Child…
During the 2022 Legislative Session, we wanted to make sure health care access was on the agenda. That's why our social media campaign was focused on the importance of health care coverage.
When children are healthy, they are ready to learn. We know that uninsured children do not receive adequate preventive care and do not seek prompt treatment when they are ill.
Having a medical home ensures children receive routine dental, vision, and developmental screenings. Early identification of developmental or behavioral delays and illness is proven to save society money and produce better results for children.
There's still time to make progress…
Contact your legislator
Unfortunately the bills filed to expand KidCare eligibility in 2022 did not make it through (see HB 1181 from Rep. Robin Bartleman and SB 1422 from Sen. Keith Perry). Let your legislator know you care about this issue and want them to tackle health care access for children in the coming session.
