Insure Kids Now

Health insurance for kids is a whole other ball of wax. Kids need constant medical care including check-ups, exams and illnesses. And, they don't have to worry about chronic diseases or health problems that come with aging.
Insure Kids Now is a government program available in the entire United States to insure kids. It offers special services tailored to the kids of immigrants, who often can not get regular insurance. The requirements are basically that the kid be under 18 and the parents be working.
Every state has its own regulations for coverage, but in general Insure Kids Now covers doctor visits, hospitalizations and prescription drugs. The cost is very low and sometimes free. Some states also offer dental and eye exams.
The application is simple and your kids can stay on the program as long as they still qualify. On their site, you can look up your home state and read about its program.
