PeachCare for Kids

Children who have health insurance coverage tend to have better health throughout their childhood years and into adulthood. These children are more likely to 1) receive needed immunizations that prevent disease 2) receive treatment for recurring illnesses 3) receive preventative care and 4) in general get sick much less often.
