Abstract
Access to medical care among children in the United States with discontinuous health insurance coverage is significantly reduced, according to an analysis of data from the 2000 and 2001 National Health Interview Surveys. The findings reported in The New England Journal of Medicine were based on a sample of 26,955 children under the age of 18 years. The study by Dr. Lynn M. Olson and colleagues from the Departments of Practice and Research at the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Institute for Health Policy Studies and the Department of Pediatrics, and the University of California at San Francisco, compared children with gaps in health insurance coverage with those who were uninsured all year and with those who had public or private full-year coverage.
