Journal Article
Many studies have documented the adverse consequences of uninsurance for children, but less is known about the differential effects of varying periods of uninsurance. This study examines the relative effects of varying periods of uninsurance (uninsured for 1–4 months, 5–11 months, or all year) on children's access to care.

Fact Sheet
This fact sheet looks at the health insurance types and the status of people who use community health centers, public hospitals, and clinics, also called the "safety net," as their usual source of health care. The safety net will continue to be a critically important provider regardless of the outcome of proposed health insurance expansions
