SPRINGFIELD - Barry Maram and his employees have done just about all they could to be ready for All Kids.
They've took a trip the state, recruiting enrollees and training thousands of workers for the nation's first program guaranteeing health insurance for each child.
Now the Department of Health Care and Family Services faces the key question -- Would people start signing up when the agenda opens July First?
Maram, the agency's director, doesn't falter to say it would be a big success.
He told the Associated Press in a meeting last week that the state is still on aim to cover 50-thousand people in its first year and a new managed-care program would cover its 45 (m) million dollar cost.
He says the biggest challenge would be signing up participants but he expects that would be successful like other current expansions of programs such as Kid Care and Family Care.
