Families USA:
Extensive research has documented the positive effects that health insurance has on a child's physical, developmental, social, and emotional health.
Children who have health insurance are more likely to have a relationship with the same doctor over time, receive regular well-child checkups, and have their medical, dental, vision, and other health care needs met.
But what happens when an uninsured child is seriously injured or develops a condition that requires hospitalization?
The findings in this report add a new sense of urgency to the problem of uninsured children.
