Did programs that decreased health insurance coverage tend to have unfavorable child impacts?
For families with young children in the COS sample as well as families with children of all ages in the 11 programs, there was not a pattern of unfavorable child impacts in the programs that decreased health care coverage. For families in the COS sample, only two of the six programs the Grand Rapids and Riverside LFA programs decreased health care coverage as of the end of the two-year follow-up period. The decrease in mothers’ rating of their focal child’s health found for both the Riverside LFA and HCD programs does not appear to be connected to this finding: Both Riverside programs resulted in unfavorable child health rating impacts (similar in size in the two programs), while only the Riverside LFA program produced a decrease in family health care coverage. In addition, no other focal child impacts were found for Riverside’s LFA (or HCD) program. For families in the COS sample, the Grand Rapids LFA program resulted in an unfavorable impact on focal children’s externalizing behavior
