This is kind of an under-utilized program. We've lowered the premiums and we want to make sure that children get a good start in life and won't need a lot of services from this department. |
We want to at least see that children and pregnant moms are covered so they don't go without. A lot of younger families in Fremont County, which is not one of the high-paying counties in the state, would come under that range. |
When you are trying to feed a family, pay the bills and get the rent paid, sometimes it (health care) doesn't get done. This program does help them keep working. |
