In Massachusetts, it's unthinkable that children continue to be denied coverage because of their immigration status.
The #CoverAllKids Act - and the coalition behind it - can change that. I was proud to join them yesterday to show my support.
Unfortunately, HB2210 to #CoverAllKids died in a House subcommittee last night on a party line vote. The uninsured rate in Virginia for kids who are citizens is 3.7% compared to 48% for undocumented children. I thank Kathy Tran for continuing to be a champion on this issue.
#CoverAllKids ๐๐ฝ THT is offering application assistance to parents looking to get their kids NJFamilyCare Medicaid benefits, regardless of immigration status. Even if employed with moderate income, your child can still qualify for no-cost services!

Spread the word! Continuing to champion in children's health coverage is an investment in a brighter, more prosperous future for Virginia. Together, let's ensure that every child is covered by moving forward the #CoverAllKids bill ๐

Having health coverage as a child has positive impacts for the educational, health, and financial well-being of children and their families.
Itโs time to #CoverAllKids and become a national leader for childrenโs health coverage and a champion for their futures.
In November 2019, a Stafford educator approached me for help as Stafford Democrats Chair because a student was suffering from severe untreated ADHD. The student was undocumented and, thus, uninsured. We got her help. I am glad to see - 4 years later - we're going to #coverallkids .
Together, we are decreasing the number of uninsured children in RI! Our #CoverAllKids Event enrolled 50 families & 100 children in health coverage. Thank you to all our partners and volunteers. For assistance enrolling a child, call Lisy, Progreso Latino, (401) 728-5920 Ext. 129.
