The Children's Health Minute is a radio feature provided free of charge to radio stations throughout Texas in an effort to improve the health of Texas children, as well as to make Texas parents and guardians aware of the TexCare health insurance campaign. Radio stations are mailed new Children's Health Minutes on CD's each month. In addition, radio stations can find these radio features here as MP3 files, along with the script. Radio stations needing more information or CDs please contact us at info@texasnewsroom.com.

TexCare is a new children’s health insurance campaign developed especially for Texas children. The campaign covers children from birth through age 18. Insurance programs available through the TexCare target all uninsured Texas children at a price that fits the budgets of Texas families. Rates are flexible and are based on the number of people in your family and your family’s income and expenses. Children do not have to be US citizens to apply.

Visit the TexCare web site at www.texcare.com for more information.
