  • Title: Health insurance for Hispanic and other children: access to care.
    Author: Waldman HB, Perlman SP.
    Journal: J Dent Child (Chic); 2005; 72(1):36-8. PubMed ID: 16119074.
    Abstract:
    National surveys demonstrate an increased proportion of children with health insurance coverage. Much of this rise is a reflection of increases in public insurance arrangements. Nevertheless, in the early 2000s, millions of children, particularly Hispanic children, continued to lack health insurance. There were marked differences in coverage rates between different Hispanic subgroups, with 34% of Mexican American children, compared to 10% of Cuban American children, lacking insurance. The purpose of this case report was to show that the absence of insurance coverage is associated with limited access to care.
