Abstract
According to the Urban Institute, 3.4 million U.S. children aged 6-18 are eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) but are uninsured. These school-aged children make up about 68% of the total eligible but uninsured population. Child and family advocates have long considered schools to be valuable partners for Florida KidCare outreach.
