Lack of children's insurance keeps parents on edge

Government health insurance programs for children have taken the stress off of many families. Just 10.4 percent of America's kids younger than 19 have no health insurance less than half the uninsured rate of adults ages 19 to 64, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Often, parents who apply after seeking medical care for their children lose their motivation for gathering the necessary documents after the crisis has passed, "They're trying to manage their family and their life, and they say, “You know what? I'm just going to let this go”

Most children without coverage live in households with income less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level but with at least one adult working. More than 50 percent are white, and about 26 percent are black. All but a few are U.S. citizens.

These are families with mortgages and minivans, these are the people that your kids go to school with, are in Boy Scouts with, that you see at the grocery store.

Studies show families without insurance are more likely to delay or forgo medical care for their children. That puts the kids at higher risk for preventable hospitalizations and missed diagnoses of serious conditions, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Don't be one of these families, call now and find out if your children can participate on these Government Programs, stop living on edge and risking your children health. One phone call can make the difference.
