WASHINGTON: According to a new report by Families USA, the number of American children without health insurance declined by about 6 percent last year.
The report also found that most uninsured children - 88.2 percent - come from families with at least one parent working, and more than half live in two-parent households.
The report said, to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, a program jointly financed by the state and federal governments to provide health insurance for about seven million low-income children.
Massachusetts had the lowest rate of uninsured children in the country - just 4.6 percent.
