- Abstract:
- The percentage of infants and toddlers without health insurance is growing. The overall rate of uninsured children under 3 increased significantly for the first time in several years, growing from 3.5 percent in 2016 to 4.1 percent in 2018. This trend mirrors the national increase in the uninsured rate for all children under 19, as well as children under 6. Both groups showed statistically significant increases during the same two-year period.
