handle is hein.gao/gaobacktw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Health, Education and Human Services Division B-260383 February 14, 1995 The Honorable Christopher J. Dodd Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Children and Families Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate Dear Senator Dodd: As you have requested, we are conducting two studies relating to the health insurance status of children. Our first is a case study of state and local programs to provide health insurance for otherwise uninsured children. We will keep your staff apprised of our progress, and we plan to issue a report on this subject later this year. In our second study we are analyzing the U.S. Bureau of the Census' March Supplement of the Current Population Surveys (CPS) for 1990 and 1994, which reports income and other information for 1989 and 1993 to compare characteristics of insured and uninsured children and their related families, including any changes during this time period. On February 6, 1995, we gave your staff a status report on our work to date. Based on that discussion, you asked for information on uninsured children and on children with Medicaid coverage for 1989 and 1993. Specifically, you asked for the number of such children, the percentage of all U.S. children they represented, their family income status, and their parents' work status. We also used CPS data to compare the insurance status of parents with the insurance status of children. Using the CPS, we linked files of children with their parents to develop this information, All numbers and percentages for children are for children who linked to an adult--99 percent of the sample. We will issue a more complete report on this analysis this spring. GAO/HEHS-95-83R Uninsured and Children on Medicaid /7jA
