The PICO network is working to win affordable health coverage for children and families.  This year when Congress renews the successful State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)  it has the opportunity to move ahead with providing affordable coverage to all children by 2012.  Covering all children is the right thing to do and is within our reach.
