Children in Iowa Now Have State Health Insurance

By Ethan Kalvin

Health insurance for children in Iowa has become more available. The Governor, Chet Culver, has signed a new health insurance coverage bill.

The eligibility family income limit for the current childrens health insurance program has been raised. This is the main part of the bill, which allows for more children to qualify for Hawk-i.

The old income level was 250% of the federal poverty level, this new law provides for up to 300%. So a family income may be up to $64,000 annually for qualification, reports the Des Moines Register.

This new legislation also paves the way for these children to have access to the dental coverage. The hope is that it will urge people to sign up and provide more dental care to more kids.

State administrators are unleased under this new bill to offer state subsidies to buy individual health insurance. These would be offered to low income families.
