Having health coverage means better access to health care and also greater financial security for the family.  More children than ever before now have health insurance and can get the vital health services they need.  But many still need coverage – and the great news is that they may still have a chance to get covered now.  Children and teens up to age 19 may be eligible for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).  Parents may be eligible for Medicaid too.  Eligible individuals can enroll at any time – so it’s never too late!

Through today’s Blog Carnival, MomsRising and the national Connecting Kids to Coverage Campaign want to spread the word about the value of health insurance through Medicaid and CHIP  and what coverage can mean for children, parents and the whole family.  Before diving into our Blog Carnival, take 90 seconds and view our new video.  You’ll hear a sassy young girl answer the key question that all our bloggers are asking:  Medicaid and CHIP enrollment is open year round – but why wait?
