Get Ready for
Cover the Uninsured Week 2008,
April 27-May 3!

Forty-seven million Americans are uninsured. Nearly 9 million of them are children. More than 8 out of 10 are in working families. They are our friends, neighbors and colleagues--forced to gamble every day that they won't get sick or injured.

Living without health insurance is a risk no one should have to take.

Cover the Uninsured, a project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a national effort to highlight the fact that too many Americans are living without health insurance and to demand solutions from our nation's leaders.

This includes raising awareness and building support among policy-makers, health care professionals, grassroots advocates, faith leaders, the business community and active citizens through Cover the Uninsured Week.

Cover the Uninsured Week 2008 will take place April 27 - May 3 with thousands of activities across the country. We hope you will join the nation in helping make health coverage for the uninsured a top priority.

MIChild

Did you know that 154,749 kids do not have health insurance in Michigan? That's 5.8% of all kids. This issue demands our attention.

Health and dental care are vital to the well-being of all Michigan children.  That's why the state of Michigan's MIChild program offers health and dental coverage to uninsured children of working families for just $10 per month.

Because we believe in a healthier Michigan, Health 1st America is committed to increasing the number of children who have health care coverage through MIChild.
