All Kids program aims to cover uninsured children statewide
The All Kids program starts Saturday offering insured care for uninsured children with premiums as low as 15 dollars for one child and 25 dollars for two. It targets uninsured and uninsurable children with pre existing conditions and expands eligibility beyond middle income. Secretary Murphy notes most high income families won’t benefit but hopes 50 000 new children enroll and payments to clinics will stay timely. Applications are at health facilities or online at AllKidsCovered com or by calling 866 ALL-KIDS.
