Editor's Notes
- How many of you can properly identify your type of health insurance coverage?
- Older children have the highest numbers of uninsurance.
- Largest number of uninsured live in rural areas of the state, as well as the largest number carrying public health insurance coverage.
- Hispanic, Native American, and African American children have the highest percentage of uninsurance
- Self-reported health status for children is highest among the privately insured. Uninsured and publicly insured children were more likely to report higher scores, using a scale where 1=Excellent and 5 = Poor health status.
- Uninsured rate increases more for low income children than for children in higher income groups. This shows the break down by each federal poverty level.
- Rise in uninsurance highest for Hispanic children, followed by African American children.
- Full-time work does not mean access to health insurance coverage
- Enrollment rates much lower for part-time employees than full-time employees
- Around 60% of employees working for private firms in MS are eligible/qualify for health coverage. Less than half of private sector employees are enrolled in health insurance, with only 15% enrolled in family coverage.
- Enrollment rates are lower for employees working in smaller firms.
- Average family premiums for employers and employee contributions overall has increased steadily over time
