An estimated 700-thousand kids in Florida are uninsured.

Florida KidCare provides free and low cost coverage for residents 18 or younger, but community activists say it’s hard to spread the word. PICO Florida, an organization made up of more than 50 churches, is trying to spread the word. PICO leader Sam Jones is also asking the state legislature to simplify the KidCare application process.

“So somebody who heard about it say, ‘you know I have enough headaches, I got enough problems, I don’t want to go and so some children don’t get insured,” said Jones.

Most family on the KidCare program pay nothing, others pay about 20 dollars a month. For more information about he program visit the KidCare website at floridakidcare.org.
