Lawyers are uniquely suited to help improve the health of today's children. Many would argue that health insurance and ethics are the dominant concern in the health of America's youth. The best legal support for children is to help allow the child to participate in their own health care. Helping allow a child to make decisions that effect their own care is not yet codified but is becoming morally imperative in more and more cases even though the legal right to make these decisions is still in the hands of parents. By partnering with health care providers, lawyers can both advocate on behalf of their clients and save the lives of sick children.
