Uninsured children: A state-by-state analysis

Children and Youth Services Review, 2010, vol. 32, issue 1, 1-5

Abstract: This article provides a state-by-state analysis of the uninsured component of health care for children. The topical area is significant because one usually does not expect that some--or any--children do not have health insurance coverage. The major findings were that the state rates of noncoverage of children depended on race/ethnicity and region when other variables were controlled. The findings raise the following fundamental questions: Can we consider health care to be at the same level of collective responsibility as education? Can we afford not to do so? Is there an expanded role for Medicaid?
