Abstract: Decades of federal and state efforts to increase children’s enrollment in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and reduce uninsurance, including implementation of the coverage provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014, have been associated with increased health insurance coverage among children. By 2016, children’s uninsurance rate reached a historic low, and Medicaid/CHIP participation had reached its highest rate since we started tracking it in 2008. However, this progress began reversing in 2017. In this brief, we update our prior research on uninsurance, Medicaid/CHIP participation, and the number of children eligible for Medicaid/CHIP but uninsured using 2018 data from the American Community Survey (ACS).
