This Kids Count special report examines the relationship between poverty status and the number of children in Arkansas lacking health insurance. The report also presents information on two programs providing health care to Arkansas children whose parents lack insurance coverage, Medicaid and ARKids First. The report describes how these two programs are administered and presents statistics on the number of Arkansas children served by the two programs. The report further defines the categories of Arkansas Medicaid and delineates federal poverty guidelines and program income thresholds for Arkansas health programs. The report notes that 21 percent of Arkansas children are without health insurance. The percentage of children without insurance varies by poverty level. Approximately 35 percent of Arkansas's children are served by the Medicaid program. More than 50,000 children had been enrolled in the ARKids First program by February 2000. (KB)
