The 2025 State of Children’s Health Insurance report analyzes the latest public data on children’s health insurance. This timeframe captures the final six months (January-June 2024) of the Medicaid unwinding or redeterminations process, which resumed renewals following a three-year federal freeze during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Every child should have health insurance and access to quality health care that is necessary for healthy development into adolescence and through adulthood. That care includes immunizations throughout childhood. Routine vaccinations for children are essential to keep them immune from life-threatening diseases before they are exposed. With the back-to-school season upon us, families should prioritize scheduling their children for well-child checkups so they are ready to learn.
Children need access to nutrition for their growing bodies and minds to be healthy and develop as they should. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a critical component in ensuring infants and toddlers, as well as pregnant and postpartum mothers, have access to healthy nutrition. See WIC coverage rates statewide and at the county level.
The physical health and well-being of current service members is vital in supporting military readiness. Likewise, the physical health and well-being of young Americans is vital to the future readiness of the Armed Forces. Ensuring affordable and comprehensive health care access for America’s military families and our next generation is an essential investment in our national security.
In every community across Pennsylvania, Medicaid and CHIP play a big role in keeping kids covered and healthy. Through these public health insurance options, nearly half of all children have access to check-ups, doctor-recommended screenings, vaccinations and much more. The three fact sheets in this series show enrollment by Congressional, state House, and state Senate districts.
