title: The changing face of children's health: a positive state perspective.
abstract: In the midst of health care cutbacks, imposed or increasing copays, and managed care crises, the face of children's health care is undergoing significant changes. These, quite fortunately for the children of Texas, are positive changes, including the establishment of the Texas Healthy Kids Corporation and utilization of the newly implemented Children's Health Insurance Plan.
