According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, more than 9 million children are uninsured in the United States. Six and a half million of these children live in families with household incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level and are eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP, but are not enrolled.
Typically, a child's health care needs center around simple preventative care such as immunizations and regular check-ups to ensure proper growth and development. Research shows early intervention makes a measurable improvement in the future health of these children.
Most if not all states have state funded programs to assist low income families to insure their children and give them the best shot to live healthy lives.
