This report provides an assessment of Medicaid's relative impact on racial and ethnic disparities in access to health care among children. The analysis compares health care access for white, African American, and Hispanic children who were privately insured, uninsured, or enrolled in Medicaid or in CHIP (the Children's Health Insurance Program). Key findings compare racial and ethnic disparities in access between public and private insurance programs, and the appendixes highlight the factors most significantly associated with access. Data for the more than 15,000 children analyzed in the report comes from the 2003 and 2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, a nationally representative household survey conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
