Categories: | | |

Topics: Access/Barriers | Children & Adolescents | CHIP | Employer-Sponsored Coverage | Individual Coverage | Medicaid | State Data | Uninsured

This study of children’s access to medical care under public and private coverage concludes that coverage increases access to and use of care more than other studies indicate.  The study compares public and private coverage and underscores the necessity of reducing the number of uninsured children.
