Access Denied

Can we go back? The "Access Denied" video, part of the Children's Defense Fund's Health Coverage for All Children campaign, reminds us that only two years ago many more children did not have access to health coverage just because they had a pre-existing health condition. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law by the President in 2010, provides access to health coverage to 95 percent of the children in America.

(2009)For too long, big insurance has gotten between families and their doctors. Insurance companies have the power to decide who gets coverage, what medical treatment theyll pay for, and they set the prices for coverage. Meanwhile, working families face impossible barriers to obtaining health coverage imposed by insurance companies that make enormous profits and pay their CEOs and top managers fat compensation packages.

Real health reform will put families back in control of their childrens health care, guaranteeing every child access to all medically necessary services to maximize their childrens health and development.

We can fix our health care crisis with a uniquely American solution that stops insurance companies from discriminating against children and guarantees families the freedom to choose the quality, affordable health care that is best for their children.
