Healthy Growth and Development We should catch developmental issues early and often, to secure a healthy growth for every child in Colorado. -
Get the Facts Although uninsured rates for Colorado’s kids have reached historic lows, disparities remain. The uninsured rate for Hispanic/Latino children in Colorado is more than twice as high as that for any other racial or ethnic group. -
Policy Victories We have played an instrumental role in passing several key bills in the legislature, and have become a recognized expert in children's health policy.
We have come a long way, but we’re not done yet.
Colorado is a leader in covering kids. Yet, about 102,000 kids, or 10%, are still uninsured. That’s too many! Fortunately, we’re making good progress. All Kids Covered strives – especially during tough economic times – to reduce the number of uninsured children in Colorado. As a non-partisan coalition, we advocate for sound policy and build public will. The time to cover kids is now!
