A Place for Children in Health Reform
|
As Congress debates health reform, it is important that children's health insurance coverage is part of the discussion. A recent report from First Focus, Creating Comprehensive and Stable Health Insurance Coverage for All Children: Identifying and Working to Resolve the "Four Pathway" Challenge, addresses components of national health reform related to children's health insurance coverage.
The report details current and potential pathways to health insurance coverage for children and considers strategies to prevent interruptions in coverage, unify health care quality improvements, and provide greater access to coverage. |
