CDF-Texas has released its child health policy agenda for the 2011 legislative session.

Included among the key priority action items are: maintaining gains in children's health coverage, improving and modernizing the state's Medicaid and CHIP eligibility system, protecting Texas' critical public health safety-net and infrastructure, building an effective Medicaid and CHIP delivery system, using new revenue sources and the Rainy Day Fund to fill the budget gap instead of cutting health care programs, ensuring that Texas is prepared for successful implementation of major health reform provisions in 2014, reaching all CHIP and Medicaid-eligible children, and protecting existing funds for early childhood education.
