Parents with uninsured children often delay care for their children, are less likely to have taken their children to a doctor or dentist in the last 2 years, and are five times less likely to have a usual place of care for their children. The percentage of children without health insurance dropped slightly from 11.7 in 2006 to 11 in 2007. (Sherman, Greenstein, & Parrott, 2008). This decrease is attributed to states' ability to improve enrollment in Medicaid and SCHIP. Despite these efforts, nearly half of children uninsured are eligible for these public programs. Lack of awareness, difficulty accessing the programs, uncertainty of how to apply for the programs, discomfort related to receiving governmental assistance, and fear of jeopardizing the family's immigration status continue to be factors in failure to enroll children in these programs.
