More Children Uninsured Despite Strong Economy

“For the first time in nearly a decade, the number of uninsured children in America has grown,” CNN reports.

“The reversal is unprecedented, particularly given a strong economy in which more people are landing jobs and gaining access to employer health coverage. It also comes at a time when the nation’s overall uninsured rate remained flat.”

“Roughly 276,000 more children were uninsured in 2017 than the year before, bringing the total to more than 3.9 million.”
