Tell Your Children's Health Coverage Story

Personal stories make a huge difference when we talk to legislators, the press, and others.

We are looking for stories - from parents, health providers, and community-based organizations - of families whose children have benefited from health coverage through Medi-Cal, Healthy Families or Healthy Kids. Please tell us:

• How has health insurance benefited the child and family?
• What happened when the child was not covered, or what might happen if the child loses coverage?
• If the child has chronic health problems, how were their health needs addressed through health coverage?
• How has having health coverage benefited the child's health, school performance and/or the family's well-being?
• What else might help illustrate the importance of health coverage for children?

Feel free to use the form below to tell your story. Or, if you would like to talk to someone about your story, please call Michael Odeh at Children Now, 510-763-2444 x 122.

Please note that we will not share a family's story without their formal consent.

We will follow up with you if we need more information about your story and to get your consent.
