Every year, roughly 759,000 children with no health insurance are hit with a major asthma attack. About 30 percent of these families where the children belong are earning over 200 percent above the federal poverty level which leaves majority of the children disqualified from availing of the health insurance program delivered by the State for the children. Serious health conditions can only be avoided if these children are provided with ongoing treatment issued by a primary care provider. The absence of this will mean an exposure to the risk of ongoing symptoms which will ultimately lead to hospitalization. Some of these children however have acquired health insurance a bit too late.
