One year after President Obama signed the Children’s Health Insurance
Program Reauthorization Act, Department of Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack will visit the Mazique Parent Child Center to discuss efforts to
identify and enroll children in health coverage and announce new steps
the Departments are taking to insure more kids.
The Secretaries will release a new report on children’s health insurance
and highlight The Secretary’s Challenge: Connecting Kids to Coverage,
a five-year long campaign that will challenge federal officials,
governors, mayors, community organizations, tribal leaders and
faith-based organizations to enroll the nearly five million uninsured
children who are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP but are not enrolled.
