Pa Kids to Get Universal Healthcare
An article in the August 11th Philadelphia Inquirer describes a new program to provide health insurance to children, making PA the third state to do so.
Among the interesting national trends driving this program: an increase of 31% in the number of children enrolled in public healthcare programs over the last ten years, contrasting neatly with a 5% decline in private coverage. About 8 million children across the country have no access to health coverage. These figures are from a recent Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
