The Connecting Kids to Coverage Challenge (2010):
Enroll the 5 million uninsured children who are currently
eligible for Medicaid or CHIP over the next five years

Ways community organizations can meet the challenge:
Create opportunities to apply
Provide application assistance
Reach out to groups most likely to experience gaps in coverage
Focus on retaining eligible children in coverage
Use technology to facilitate enrollment and renewal
