Florida Matters, September, 2005: "Early Child Health Care "
Are Florida's Children getting a healthy start?
According to a recent study by the group Covering Kids and Families, one out of every four uninsured children in Florida received no medical care for an entire year.
What is being done to make healthcare available to children? And is health insurance really affordable for the average family with kids? Those are just some of the questions we asked local experts.
Our guests include: Tampa Bay Children's advocate Chris Card, Jodi Ray of the Chiles Center at USF and Dr. John Curran, a pediatrician and neonatologist.
