Abstract
More than 10.5 million children were uninsured throughout 1995. The number of uninsured children remains high, even in the face of continued expansions of Medicaid designed to cover low-income children. As a result, interest persists in developing additional approaches for covering uninsured children. Efforts to attract more uninsured children will entail important trade-offs between the federal costs of the program (and its political viability) and the number of uninsured children who enroll.Keywords
