The Child Health Bill
Arizona bill raises child health insurance income limits
Eligibility; children's health insurance program
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let more Arizona kids join the health insurance program by raising the family income ceiling to 300% of the federal poverty level.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
More families could get their children covered, reducing medical bills and giving peace of mind, while the state may need to spend more on the program.
