      <Description>In 2010 the Children's Alliance worked to keep children at the center of the budget debate - ensuring continued health care for thousands of kids, meals at school and during the summer for hungry kids, expanded early learning opportunities, and continued work on racial equity. Preserving Apple Health for Kids in Washington State was a priority in the effort to "Cover All Kids," ensuring all children had access to health care. Childrens Alliance assured that 100,000 more children had access to health care, including 15,000 who lost private coverage due to the recession.</Description>
