在本文中，我们比较了15个州的所有公民和混合家庭中美国公民儿童的健康保险覆盖范围，其中混合家庭中儿童的比例最大。与所有公民家庭的儿童相比，混合家庭的儿童的保险覆盖率较低，覆盖率的州差异较大。各州面临的主要挑战是解决所有低收入儿童没有保险的问题，并解决所有低收入儿童和所有混合家庭儿童（无论收入如何）的雇主赞助保险率非常低的问题。我们讨论国家政策选择，以解决混合家庭的儿童的需求。
In this paper we compare health insurance coverage for U.S. citizen children in all-citizen and mixed families in the fifteen states with the largest share of children in mixed families. Insurance coverage is lower and state variation in coverage is higher for children in mixed families vis-a-vis children in all-citizen families. The main challenges for states are tackling uninsurance among all low-income children and addressing the very low rates of employer-sponsored insurance for all low-income children and for children in all mixed families, regardless of income. We discuss state policy options to address the needs of children in mixed families.
