Medicaid is the single largest health insurer for kids across the country. In Wisconsin, approximately 500,000 children are covered by Medicaid each year, equating to over one-third of kids living in the state.

Investing in the Health of Children
Medicaid is a critical source of health care coverage for kids with complex and chronic health conditions, kids living in families with lower incomes and kids in foster care. Medicaid coverage supports kids and families in accessing the preventive health care they need to be well and keeps their health care costs low. For kids with complex medical needs, Medicaid often serves as a secondary payer, covering the high-quality specialty care, services and equipment they need to thrive. Providing kids with Medicaid coverage is a smart, up-front investment in helping them achieve positive health outcomes and reach their full potential.
