Campaigns & Elections

The Campaign for Children's Health Care is dedicated to making high-quality, affordable health insurance coverage for all of America's children a top national priority. We are a diverse group of organizations who represent health care providers, educators, parents, advocates, and others, all of whom share a commitment to our nation's children. The Campaign coordinates public education efforts across the country to demonstrate the importance of health insurance for children and families and to show why national action is needed to expand coverage for children. More than 9 million children lack health insurance in the United States, the wealthiest nation in the world, and millions more are underinsured. Investing in children's health returns innumerable benefits, including improved development and health outcomes for children, improved school performance, and long-term savings in health care costs. We believe it is time for our leaders to take action.
