Abstract:
In America, 8.4 million children remain uninsured even though about 70% of them are eligible for public health coverage. This report from The Children's Partnership lays out a 10-step plan to enroll "eligible but unninsured" children into Medicaid and SHIP. The plan focuses on using common doorways, technology and policy reforms to make enrollment and renewal routine and timely.
