A Virginia child advocacy organization has a new take on "No Child Left Behind"—that is, making sure all children in Virginia have health insurance.
And while that is possible right now, Voices for Virginia's Children says that could change in the very near future if federal lawmakers don't act.
The good news, according to Voices' Margaret Nimmo Crowe, is that Virginia’s rate of uninsured children is 5.4% — which is relatively low. However there are still more than 100,000 children in Virginia who are uninsured.
Crowe says while some adults find it hard to get insurance, children have more options.
