Uninsured children are 25 percent more likely to miss school. Children without coverage are less likely to have a usual source
of care and more likely to delay or avoid care when it is needed. Uninsured children are less likely to receive the proper medical
care for childhood illnesses such as sore throats, ear aches and asthma.
