参考答案：对

解析：
Tens of thousands of youngsters from low-income families who were eligible for a children’s health insurance program in Florida, instead of being allowed into the program, were diverted by state officials to a long waiting list.

[分析]： 词义理解。
本题的关键是理解文中词组be eligible for的含义。该词组意为“适宜被选中的；有恰当资格的”，因此原文Tens of thousands of youngsters from low-income families who were eligible for a children’s health insurance program in Florida…意为“那些有资格享受佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目的低收入家庭中的年轻人……”与题干含义“佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目旨在帮助低收入家庭中的孩子”相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。
[解题关键] 正确理解短语be eligible for(对于某事享有资格)。
