More Children Covered Thanks to Medicaid and CHIP
The number of uninsured children decreased from 6.4 million in 2009 to 5.5 million in 2011, despite continued high numbers of children in poverty. Read CCF's 50-state analysis: "Uninsured Children 2009-2011: Charting the Nation's Progress."
Covering Parents Helps Kids
A CCF report found that nearly five million parents will become eligible for Medicaid coverage if all states move forward in fully enacting the Affordable Care Act. That’s good news for kids because covering parents makes it more likely that children will receive the needed care, regular check-ups and other preventive health care needed to stay healthy.
Getting Ready for 2014
The annual CCF-Kaiser 50-state survey finds that states are gaining momentum and learning from “early adopter” states as they prepare for the Affordable Care Act to take full effect in 2014.
