| Abstract: | This article examines children's health coverage today and explores the ways and means to ensure its financial sustainability and the factors associated with it. As extensively argued, long term negative effects could be on health, education, and financial success as an adult. It also suggests that reductions in children's coverage could have broader implications and long-term negative effects on their health, education, and eventually on their financial success as adults. However, despite the decades of progress, mostly bolstered by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new funding mechanism needs to be sought to safeguard the coverage and address the rapidly growing uninsured rate among children. Further, we analyze the pros and cons of these efforts statistically. [Note: The publication year (2023) shown on the PDF is incorrect. The correct publication year is 2025.] |
