Health Care for 11 million Children

September 21, 2009

Democrats provided cost-effective health coverage for 4 million more children whose parents earn too little to provide their own insurance, but too much to qualify for Medicaid, and preserved coverage for 7 million children already enrolled. (Signed into law)

What our Members are Saying

This is a good day for kids and a good day for taxpayers.

Ensuring healthcare coverage for all of our nation’s children is vital to our overall health security.

When you factor in the skyrocketing costs of health care, coupled with the economic pinch being placed on people’s pocketbooks, today’s American families are being bled dry and countless children are being left without health care.

Covering more eligible children is not only the right thing to do, but it's also cost-effective for taxpayers.
