Washington, D.C. — Twenty-three states expanded or improved children’s health coverage programs this year despite a tough economic climate, according to a report by the Center for Children and Families (CCF) at Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute.
“Last year, the strong support for children’s health coverage at the state and national level helped to drive the number of uninsured children to the lowest level in two decades,” said Jocelyn Guyer, Co-Executive Director of CCF. “By making sure children’s health care coverage continues to be a top priority, these states are extending a lifeline to uninsured children just when they need it most.”
