Why This Indicator Matters
Medicaid and CHIP provides coverage for medical and medically related services for low-income children and their families. A child may need coverage due to the impact of poverty and unemployment on their family’s ability to obtain health care services, and the degree to which they require assistance in paying for care.

Notes
NA - Data is suppressed when there are 5 or fewer families in the matching geography.

NOTE - Data for counties does not sum to the state total as some Medicaid/CHIP participants are not matched to a county for children in foster care and subsidized adoption.
