Kids Need Health Insurance
Every child should have access to health care. Being able to see a health care provider for preventative health care and to treat illness is essential to the ability of a child to thrive. Yet, Arizona has the second highest rate of uninsured children in the United States.
That’s just one reason why it is important to defend Medicaid, which is AHCCCS in Arizona. At the federal level, Congress is targeting budget proposals that would devastate AHCCCS and Arizona’s health care system. Especially at this time when families are already struggling to afford a roof over their head and a trip to the grocery store, our federal lawmakers should protect, not cut essential health services.
Read about the state of children’s access to health care in our 2024 Kids Count Data Book and in the snapshot included below.
To stay informed, join Children’s Action Alliance and Prevent Child Abuse Arizona for our joint briefing on the latest about state legislation and federal proposals impacting children and families, including AHCCCS/Medicaid, SNAP nutrition assistance, and more.
