Over the past decade, health coverage for millions of low-income children and their families has been impacted by publicly funded programs such as the Children's Health Insurance Program and Medicaid. There are more than six million children currently eligible for coverage. The Obama administration increased funding for the program that allows coverage for additional enrollees. This comes at a critical time with economic downturn. Participation in professional organizations and attention to legislative reports by pediatric nurses are imperative to support legislation that continues to provide adequate funding for this program.
在过去的十年中，数百万低收入儿童及其家庭的健康保险受到了公共资助计划（如儿童健康保险计划和医疗补助计划）的影响。目前有超过 600 万名儿童有资格获得保险。奥巴马政府增加了该计划的资金，允许更多的参保人加入。在经济下滑的关键时刻，这是非常必要的。儿科护士参与专业组织并关注立法报告对于支持继续为该计划提供充足资金的立法是至关重要的。
