Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says Colorado is a model for expanding health care for children.
Sebelius said Monday the state's initiative to enroll 67,000 more children in Medicaid and children's health programs is working, and the federal government wants to expand it to other states with $40 million in grants.
She says the federal program will include church outreach groups, child care centers, schools, community centers and American Indian tribes.
Sebelius and Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter spoke Monday in a conference call with reporters.
