Back in Nevada, where the Fosters have returned home after a long day, there's a reason for optimism. Joining us now is Abigail Trafford, health columnist for the Washington Post, who's written on the issue of uninsured children. We heard that there are efforts to let people know about the program and yet so many eligible families still aren't taking part. Families don't know what it is. They don't think that they are eligible.
States vary so much.
Some states have gone out and had health fairs, they've gone into schools and have really talked up the program. Other states haven't made that kind of an effort. And people don't know - they think you have to be single, they think you have to be unemployed. It's not clear that they're eligible. For the CHIP program and Medicaid, there seem to be so many variations from state to state.
