kidswellThe Atlantic Philanthropies and Manatt Health Solutions have teamed-up to create KidsWell, a website which tracks health reform nationally and state-by-state. It’s a tremendous resource. Here’s how they describe themselves:

KidsWell is a national advocacy campaign focused on successful health care reform implementation on behalf of children. KidsWell provides timely, easy-to-understand health care reform news and analysis to ensure that children’s advocates, stakeholders, policymakers, and the general public have the tools they need to (1) understand health care reform and how it will impact states and children; (2) help families and children get coverage;  and (3) build a lasting child advocacy infrastructure for children’s health.

Our approach is unique. In addition to providing timely health care reform information, we coordinate over 30 children’s advocacy organizations who are working to increase health insurance coverage for our nation’s children and families. By helping advocacy organizations work together, and by using this website as a health reform information hub, KidsWell is building a lasting legacy of healthy children.
