Georgetown Analysis Shows Medicaid Covers 43% of Children Under Age 3
Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families analyzed 2015-2024 Census data on health coverage for infants and toddlers under age 3. The analysis uses American Community Survey data to track coverage trends for this population, which has historically high Medicaid enrollment rates. The brief provides state-level and national estimates of coverage patterns over the decade. The findings offer a baseline for assessing coverage changes as states continue to complete Medicaid redeterminations following the end of continuous enrollment.
The analysis provides state Medicaid agencies and advocates with enrollment benchmark data for a population with particularly high Medicaid participation rates, supporting monitoring of coverage retention efforts during and after unwinding.
