Who Are America’s Poor Children? Examining Health Disparities Among Children in the United States

SCHIP Is an Essential Component of Public Insurance Coverage for Children Many SCHIP enrollees were uninsured the entire year prior to SCHIP enrollment (30 percent to 60 percent). A substantial proportion of enrollees (17 percent to 44 percent) were previously insured by Medicaid and approximately one-quarter were covered by private insurance. Most SCHIP enrollees continued to be insured at least one year after enrollment. More than three- quarters were publicly insured. Few enrollees (4 percent to 15 percent) obtained private insurance coverage after leaving SCHIP. Some enrollees became uninsured (7 percent to 17 percent) (see Figure 3). More than half the children were enrolled in SCHIP at the 2-year anniversary of their initial enrollment | REPORT Who Are America s Poor Children Examining Health Disparities Among Children in the United States David Seith Elizabeth Isakson January 2011 National Center for Children in Poverty Mailman School of Public Health Columbia University The National Center for Children in Poverty NCCP is the nation s leading public policy center dedicated to promoting the economic security health and well-being of America s low-income families and children.
