Number of children lacking insurance growing

Millions of U.S. children have no health insurance and their numbers are growing, says an expert on child health care.

"Concurrent with the enormous increase in child poverty that took place between 1979 and today, there has been an increase in the percentage of children — particularly low-income children — who have no health insurance," said Sara Rosenbaum, director of child health for the Children's Defense Fund. Rosenbaum spoke at a meeting of the AAP Section on Community Pediatrics, held during the Annual Meeting.
