Idaho has the fifth-highest rate of uninsured young kids, report finds

Idaho now ranks fifth in the nation for the highest rate of uninsured young kids, with a 36% increase in recent years, according to a recent report. This alarming trend follows the state's removal of tens of thousands of children from Medicaid after the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of insurance for these young children raises significant concerns about their access to essential healthcare services, highlighting a critical issue in public health and social welfare that demands immediate attention and policy reform.
