You keep on sowing the seeds and we all reap the harvest. Polio is gone from the U.S., gone from the developed nations, going from the developing world. Each infant death is a promise unfulfilled. I personally, and my agency, the Health Resources and Services Administration, thank you for keeping your promise to American families to do everything in your power to see that every baby has the best chance to live and grow. Making the case for kids is something you do every day.
Families struggle to see their kids can grow up strong and healthy.
We know how hard you're working. We'll work with you to make sure your kids don't go another day without health coverage. Their future matters to all of us. The response from States has been enthusiastic. Illinois is covering families living at 133 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.
