What Challenges Remain Despite Legislative Changes?
Despite these positive changes, several challenges remain:
Disparities in Access: Socioeconomic disparities still exist, with underprivileged communities often having less access to healthcare services. Funding Issues: Programs like CHIP and mental health services in schools often face funding challenges, affecting their sustainability and reach. Implementation Gaps: There can be gaps in the implementation of these laws at the state and local levels, leading to inconsistent access and quality of care. Evolving Healthcare Needs: The healthcare needs of children continue to evolve, requiring ongoing legislative attention and updates to existing laws.
