More than half of all children without insurance are simply waiting to become eligible for other coverage. Most of these children come from households with at least one working parent. Most of these households have incomes that are significantly above poverty level. State plans and employer provided coverage typically takes several months to get started, leaving the children uninsured. A lesser number of children go without health coverage for a long period of time and this can lead to even greater risks.

"We need to get the word out that there is no reason why a child should not have adequate health coverage" says Tony Novak, founder of MedSave.com. Novak is a frequent speaker on health benefit topics. He believes that many people do not know that most of the uninsured children in the U.S. could be covered in a matter of minutes for less than $30 per month. These plans provide at least basic coverage and child immunizations and so taking that first step to enroll for coverage is critical. Today's online enrollment systems are so efficient, he explains, that a child could be covered tomorrow for exactly the amount of time that it takes for state plan or other employer-based coverage to start. "The fact that this national crisis is so easily solvable makes it even more frustrating", he says. Novak claims to have helped thousands of parents in all 50 states and D.C. Though his twenty five year career as a benefits adviser. He answers parents' most common questions online, on the radio, through private Web casts and though several print publications.
