The Healthy Families Program is designed to fill the gap for those who are off welfare, but not earning enough to afford private health insurance.
The state has expended considerable effort and expense to get the working poor to enroll in the Healthy Families Program. The cost for coverage is modest, up to $7.00 a month per child.the Healthy Families Program would be expanded so that a family of three with an annual income under $21,000 would pay no monthly premium.
