Health insurance among children: the role of expanded Medicaid coverage
Article Abstract:
A study examined health insurance coverage among children whose parents transferred to Medicaid. Under the law, children who are living in poverty could be covered by Medicaid. It was noted that most parents of the newly enrolled children lost their private health insurance due to job loss, and not because they dropped it, while roughly 16% of the children had parents who still had access to private health insurance. The majority of the new enrollees belong to families who are living beyond the poverty level.
