LA Kids Access.org has been organized to facilitate actions to insure that the State of Louisiana provides prompt and effective medical services for all eligible children in accordance with federal law. With Title XIX of the Social Security Act, Congress imposed an explicit obligation on states to furnish medical assistance to children “with reasonable promptness”.
Because Louisiana Medicaid has failed to meet these responsibilities of equal access to healthcare for Medicaid eligible children, The Louisiana Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics is charged to consider bringing legal action on behalf of the children of the state.
