Abstract/ Summary

Medicaid is a federal-state partnership that provides health care coverage to low-income children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities. More than 39 million children 0-18 years old were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP by December 2021. Among Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants under one year, more than 6 in 10 rely on Medicaid coverage. Children of color are disproportionately poor and, as a result, more likely to have Medicaid coverage. More than half of all Black, Hispanic, and AI/AN children under 18 are covered by Medicaid.
