Who And Where Are The Children Yet To Enroll In Medicaid And The Children’s Health Insurance Program?

Authors in this paper, published in the Health Affairs journal, provide estimates of the rates across States for participating children as well as uninsured eligible children. Nationally, 7.3 million were uninsured on any given day in 2008, and around sixty-five percent or 4.7 million were eligible but not enrolled in the public programs. Authors also give variation in participation rates across States, which range from fifty-five to ninety-five percent.
