Medikids: A Proposal to Improve Children’s Health Care,

We propose to achieve both goals with a proposal that eliminates unnecessary non-benefit costs spent establishing eligibility of children for Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program), and would make all children eligible for the health care coverage that Americans overwhelmingly believe children should have. It would benefit struggling middle class families, as well as poor families, where 13 percent of low-income children were without insurance in 2012 (most recent data we found). Article
