Health Care
CDF works to ensure access to affordable, seamless, comprehensive health and mental health coverage and services for all children and pregnant mothers. In 2007, CDF mobilized more than 1,200 national, state and local organizations—representing over 60 million people—to support a campaign to ensure health coverage for all children. This effort led to child advocates sending tens of thousands of emails to their Members of Congress asking them to address the child health coverage crisis immediately.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or care:
“I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“A new talker will often call her caregiver “mommy,” which makes parents worry that the child is confused about who is who. She isn’t. This is a case of limited vocabulary rather than mixed-up identities. When a child has only one word for the female person who takes care of her, calling both of them “mommy” is understandable.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
