CHICAGO Governor Rod Blagojevich (bluh-GOY'-uh-vitch) used the home of the Chicago White Sox as a backdrop to encourage his health insurance program for children.
Coverage for the All Kids plan begins Saturday. It's obtainable to Illinois residents who can not pay for private health insurance for their children.
Blagojevich says 43-thousand children are pre-enrolled in the plan and that's more than sufficient to fill U-S Cellular Field.
The governor was joined at the baseball turf by three families who plan to take benefit of All Kids for their children's insurance needs.
Tracie Evans -- for example -- says it will cost her and her husband up to 15-hundred-dollars a month to pay for insurance for their four children. She says -- under All Kids -- they'll pay 70-dollars a month.
