A new report finds two-thirds of the state’s uninsured children are eligible for health coverage, but they’re not enrolled. Wendy Lazarus, with the Children’s Partnership, says it’s clear more needs to be done to encourage eligible families to enroll, especially in these cost-cutting times when there’s not a lot of money for new programs.
“These programs are funded. There are 700,000 children in working and low-income families who could get a health card tomorrow and be able to go to the doctor for a check-up, a toothache or whatever they need.”
