[OC] Prozentsatz der Kinder ohne Krankenversicherung im Jahr 2023 durch den US -Bundesstaat

Ha! What a hypocritical state Texas is. “For the children!” *proceeds to not give a fuck about children*

Well, that’s TexASS for y’all!

There is 0 reason for any child to not have health insurance in the US.

Texas is 12% from the source, data is 2023 at least for Texas

Looked it up because I was curious and the chart didn’t say

I’m amazed Mississippi isn’t sitting right there with Texas as a top contender here.

This is funny, a map where California and Texas are (almost) outliers on *opposite* ends of the scale. Usually when Texas is an outlier and California isn’t, all the other southern states join Texas.

Boy I sure am getting tired of all this Greatness. /s

I am a Canadian who works for a US company (but I work remotely from Canada). I know very well that certain states (like Texas and Florida) chose not to expand Medicaid. But my understanding is that unless a child is undocumented, there is no reason why they would be uninsured (Children’s Health Insurance Plan, basically Medicaid for children, have much higher income limits than even expanded Medicaid for adults. Even if a child has undocumented parents, if they are born in the US, they are citizens and eligible for Medicaid based on their parents’ income). Is it true that almost 10% of children currently living in Texas are undocumented (born outside the US and brought into the country as undocumented children)?

All the usual suspects unfortunately

Im proud of my state. Massachusetts may be expensive but we try to help one another. Like in our wealth tax, 1% to multi millionaires and that feeds all children at school and gave us free community college.
