WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new report by the Georgetown Center for Children and Families (CCF) confirms that state governments are taking strong steps to strengthen and expand children’s health coverage, but quick supportive action by Congress is critical to the success of these efforts. The report, Children’s Health Coverage: States Moving Forward, released by CCF at an event sponsored with the PICO National Network of more than 1,000 faith communities and the New England Alliance for Children’s Health (NEACH), highlights actions in 29 states and the District of Columbia.
“State leaders are making children’s coverage a priority,” said Jocelyn Guyer, CCF Deputy Executive Director. “But this is a critical time, and they need quick and decisive action from Congress to support their actions.”
