Congressionally Mandated Evaluation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program

Across the country, children without health insurance are a cause for concern. This report examines the design and implementation of State Children's Health Insurance Programs, noting that they were succeeding in almost all areas examined. The study focused on 10 states with a large proportion of eligible and enrolled children nationwide, developing findings from surveys of enrolled and recently disenrolled children in those states. The study incorporated a national perspective, drawing on a national survey of state program administrators, and from a national survey of low-income uninsured children.
