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.

The rate of uninsurance for children living in homes above 400 percent of poverty is 1.9 percent.

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.
