Insure Every Child

Pennsylvania must insure every child. This includes children and teens who are currently uninsured or who do not have citizenship documentation. Uninsured children fare far worse than insured children – experiencing poorer health in childhood, greater rates of avoidable hospitalizations, and higher childhood mortality.

Pennsylvania can save over $724 million a year if the 147,000 uninsured Pennsylvania kids received coverage. Click here for our “Smart Money” brief to find out how Pennsylvania can insure every child and save millions of taxpayer and health system dollars.
