Children and Employer-Based Coverage: The Data
Authors: IHPS
October 1998
Almost one out of four children in families with incomes below 200% of the federal poverty Level (FPL) are uninsured despite recent expansions in Medicaid coverage. Children in families with incomes below poverty are predominately covered by public insurance, while the majority of children with incomes above 150% of poverty are covered by employer-based plans.
