New Insurance Bill for Iowa’s Children
Health insurance for children in Iowa has become more available. The Governor, Chet Culver, has signed a new health insurance coverage bill.
Hawk-i is Iowa’s child insurance program and there are eligibility limits. This bill has raised the family income level so that more children are now eligible.
An annual income of less than $64,000 now qualifies under the new ruling, reports the Des Moines Register. This is a family income of 300 percent of the federal poverty level, increased by 50% over the old income level.
Hawk-I also has dental coverage and this new higher income level also is open to the dental portion. The legislators hope this will encourage more families to participate in the dental care.
The lower income families have even more under this bill. They are in a position to apply for state subsidies in order to purchase individual health insurance.
