Tens of thousands of children in Pennsylvania are still missing out on essential health care coverage, according to a new report.
The “State of Children’s Health” report revealed Pennsylvania has the fifth-highest number of uninsured children in the nation.
Becky Ludwick, vice president of public policy at Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, said factors like race, where you live and family income play big roles in whether children have health insurance. And while the number of uninsured kids has stayed relatively steady, a stable uninsured rate does not signal there has been progress.
