New York, NY (November 21, 2016) –Children’s Health Fund (CHF), a national health care nonprofit dedicated to medically underserved children across the U.S., today released a new report titled, “Unfinished Business: More Than 20 Million Children in the U.S. Still Lack Sufficient Access to Essential Health Care.”

Children’s Health Fund’s analyses show that 20.3 million U.S. children—28% of the pediatric population under the age of 18—are without adequate health care is based on three considerations: a) children who are uninsured, b) those who are insured, but do not receive regular primary care, and c) children who are publicly insured, connected to primary care, but do not receive essential and timely specialty care. CHF’s conclusions were derived from research into national health data sets as well as its own clinical experiences and programmatic data.
