Abstract
This article provides a state-by-state analysis of the uninsured component of health care for children. The topical area is significant because one usually does not expect that some—or any—children do not have health insurance coverage. The major findings were that the state rates of noncoverage of children depended on race/ethnicity and region when other variables were controlled. The findings raise the following fundamental questions: Can we consider health care to be at the same level of collective responsibility as education? Can we afford not to do so? Is there an expanded role for Medicaid?
