Children with Health Insurance
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the percentage of children under 19 that have any type of health insurance coverage.
Due to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, changes were made to the definition of a "qualifying child". Under ACA, a qualifying child is under age 19 at the close of the calendar year. Therefore, age categories used to measure health insurance now define those aged 18 as children.
Why is this important?
Health insurance for children is particularly important. To stay healthy, children require regular checkups, dental and vision care, and medical attention for illness and injury. Children with health insurance are more likely to have better health throughout their childhood and adolescence. They are more likely to receive required immunizations, fall ill less frequently, obtain necessary treatment when they do get sick, and perform better at school. Having health insurance lowers barriers to accessing care, which is likely to prevent the development of more serious illnesses. This is not only of benefit to the child but also helps lower overall family health costs.

Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. There were data collection issues in 2020 that severely affected the ACS data quality of that year. Therefore, data are not available for the 2020 period.
