UniCare Sound an answer for Texas's 1.4 million uninsured children.

The Unicare Sound plan should help put a dent in the nations young uninsured population.
Nationally, there are 11 million children without health insurance. In the state of Texas, there are over 1,400,000 children without health insurance UniCare Sound plans are part of the answer. In Houston, it is estimated that there are approximately 250,000 children who are uninsured. In Texas and in Houston, there is a disproportionate percentage of our children who reside here who are without any form of health insurance, including Medicaid.

Houston's record is not one we can be proud of; however, we've got to view this as an opportunity, because if we can implement Phase II of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) it will cover nearly half of the uninsured in the state and in Harris County. Let's be sure and write the Governor and our legislators and encourage the Texas Legislature to adopt the CHIP program at 200 percent of the federal poverty level so we can insure the highest number of children possible.
