Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families applauds the House of Representatives for passing this critical health reform bill. Today we are one step closer to helping tens of thousands of uninsured Arkansas children and their families who live in fear of not being able to pay for medical care.
From the beginning of this debate, AACF advocated for a plan that ensures comprehensive, affordable and accessible health care for Arkansas's low- and moderate-income children and their families without burdening our nation's budget. We are pleased that this proposal will accomplish this.
AACF thanks our delegation for their hard work on reform. We have never been this close to meaningful reform and are counting on our leaders to finish the job and get a bill to the President's desk.
Rich Huddleston, Executive Director
