Drs. Lynn Blewett and Michael Davern found that between the pre- and post-SCHIP time periods (1996-1998 and 2001-2002), for example, only 27 of the 51 states and the District of Columbia had significant declines in the percent of uninsured children after controlling for individual socio-demographic, employment, and other characteristics. Twenty-nine states saw significant increases in the percent of children enrolled in public health care programs, while only five states saw a significant increase in the percent of children with private health insurance coverage.
