Families with Children Lacking Michigan Health Insurance

Profile of the Uninsured by Family Income - Children less than 18

Who are the uninsured?

The chances of a child being insured is directly related to the family income; the higher the income the higher the rates of insurance. Children living in homes below the Federal Poverty Level in Michigan have an uninsured rate of 10.7 percent; this rate declines to 7.8 percent for children in homes between 100 and 149 percent of poverty and continues to decline to one in twenty children from homes in the 150 percent to 399 percent of poverty range. The rate of uninsurance for children living in homes above 400 percent of poverty is 1.9 percent.

How does Michigan compare with the rest of the U.S.?

Michigan children from all family income groups are about half as likely to be uninsured than children in similar situations nationally.

Who's at risk for being uninsured?

Children in families with lower incomes have a greater risk of being uninsured than children in higher income families, both in Michigan and throughout the nation.
