A new bill signed into law by President Obama makes millions of children eligible to receive health insurance.
If your kids do not have health insurance, they are likely to be eligible, even if you are working and even if you have applied in the past and been turned down.
Your state (and every state) has its own program, with its own eligibility rules, but in many states, uninsured children 18 years old and younger, whose families earn up to $44,500 a year (for a family of four) are eligible for free or low-cost health insurance that pays for
- doctor visits,
- dental care,
- prescription medicines,
- hospitalizations and
- much more.
