Why This Indicator Matters
Just like a power grid relies on many power plants to produce electricity, the preventive and comprehensive care children receive when they have health insurance keeps the lights on for their entire childhood and into adulthood, so that they can become productive citizens. As a society, we have an obligation to improve children’s health outcomes by ensuring they are connected to what they need to thrive, starting with health insurance coverage. Every Pennsylvania child regardless of income level, age, race or geography deserves equal access to plug into opportunities to be healthy and well.
