The role of public health insurance in reducing child poverty.
The researchers reviewed a growing body of evidence that public health insurance provides important financial benefits to low-income families and also reviewed the potential poverty-reducing effects of public health insurance coverage. They found that Medicaid plays a significant role in decreasing poverty for many children and families. They also reviewed emerging evidence that access to public health insurance in childhood has long-term effects for health and economic outcomes in adulthood. They concluded that the nation's public health insurance programs have many important short- and long-term poverty-reducing benefits for low-income families with children.

Quality of health insurance coverage and access to care for children in low-income families.
This study compared health care access, quality, and cost outcomes by insurance type (Medicaid, CHIP, private, and uninsured) for children in households with low to moderate incomes. It found that children with all insurance types experienced challenges in access to specialty care, with caregivers of children insured by the Children鈥檚 Health Insurance Program reporting the highest rates of difficulty accessing specialty care, problems obtaining a referral, and frustration obtaining health care services.

If rollbacks go forward, up to 14 million children could become ineligible for public or subsidized coverage by 2019.
This study investigated the potential health insurance options available to low-income children if federal CHIP funding ends in 2017 or if federal requirements change in 2019, allowing states to roll back Medicaid- and CHIP-eligibility thresholds to minimum levels. It found that the percentage of low-income children ineligible for public coverage or subsidized Marketplace coverage would increase from 22 percent in 2014 (12.5 million children) to 46 percent after 2019 (26.5 million children).

Children's health insurance program premiums adversely affect enrollment, especially among lower-income children.
Using MEPS data, the authors showed that the relationship between premiums and coverage varies considerably by income level and by parental access to employer-sponsored insurance. They found that the increase in uninsurance is largest among children whose parents lack offers of employer coverage.
