Conference Call for Social Workers: The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan

Dec 20, 2011

The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP): Comprehensive Coverage for the Uninsured

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes numerous programs to improve health care access for Americans.  One of these is the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP).  The PCIP is available nationwide for children and adults who have been locked out of the health insurance market because of a pre-existing condition. The PCIP provides very comprehensive coverage; the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) recently reduced premiums for the PCIP in 18 states and made it easier for people to enroll in the program.  DHHS needs the help of the social work community to spread the word to uninsured individuals and families about this important program.

Recent Child Care Updates

Jan 29, 2026

Since the start of the new year there have been several new developments regarding child care. Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
