KidsCare is an important access to care program that gives lower-income families an opportunity to pay an affordable premium and receive Medicaid-like health insurance for their kids. Right now KidsCare is providing coverage for about 35,000 children in working families.
To keep KidsCare open, the state legislature needs to include $1.6M appropriation in this year’s budget to cover the state’s portion of this important federal program.
