Abstract:
State officials' decisions about coverage options, especially in times of crises, have a profound effect on children. California has demonstrated leadership by opening the doors to coverage to children and many of their family members. As a result, the uninsured rate for children overall (3.1%) is well below the national average (5.2%). California was the only state to see a statistically significant decrease in the uninsured rate for Latino children in 2018. Nevertheless, Latino children in California are still almost 1.5 times more likely to be uninsured than other children.
