Health Insurance for Children: Many Remain Uninsured Despite Medicaid Expansion

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of health insurance for children, focusing on: (1) the impact of the Medicaid expansion on children's health insurance coverage since 1989; (2) changes in the demographic profile of children enrolled in the Medicaid program and uninsured children since the Medicaid expansion; and (3) the number of uninsured children who might be eligible for Medicaid.
