Between 1992 and 1993, the number of non-elderly Americans without any health insurance rose by 1.1 million, with 922,500 of that increase under age 18. In 1990, states were required to expand Medicaid to cover children up to age 6 if their family income was below 133% of the federal poverty level. In addition, states must cover children born after September 30, 1983, in families with income below the poverty level. This paper analyzes factors associated with uninsured children in 1992 and 1993; the findings may help design effective policies to provide health insurance to uninsured children.
1992年至1993年间，没有任何医疗保险的非老年美国人数量增加了110万，其中922,500名新增未参保者年龄在18岁以下。1990年，各州被要求扩大医疗补助计划的覆盖范围，将家庭收入低于联邦贫困线133%的6岁以下儿童纳入其中。此外，各州必须为1983年9月30日以后出生、家庭收入低于贫困线的儿童提供医保。本文分析了1992年和1993年与未参保儿童相关的因素；研究结果可能有助于制定有效的政策，为未参保儿童提供医疗保险。
