Health Care For All is proud to announce that Cover the Uninsured Week 2008, a national campaign to promote awareness of the uninsured, is currently underway. The campaign runs from April 27th to May 3rd and features events in all regions of the Commonwealth.
The campaign’s goal is to ensure that eligible children and families are aware of the assistance that is currently available to them, and to build momentum among policy-makers, health care professionals, and active residents for increased support for affordable health care solutions.
