ITSACA, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, April 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and its over 67,000 pediatrician members are dedicated to the health and well-being of all children. As an organization committed to advocating for children’s health, the AAP is deeply concerned about recent changes to Medicaid that have left millions of children without health insurance. In light of this, the AAP is working to educate families about their children’s coverage and the importance of having insurance for accessing necessary healthcare.

Medicaid is a vital source of health insurance for millions of children in the United States. However, recent changes to the program have resulted in a significant decrease in the number of children covered. This alarming trend is expected to continue, leaving even more children without access to essential healthcare services.
