Abstract:

To help provide health care to children of low income families, the federal government proposes to give North Carolina $21 million. However, the state must come up with $7 million in matching funds to get the money, which, at the moment, the state is reluctant to do. In the meantime, health care is being denied to thousands of identified children.
