Why is health insurance for children and teens important?

By: Meg Dilts

Children who have health insurance generally have better health throughout their childhood and into their teens. They are more likely to:

  • Receive needed shots that prevent disease;
  • Get treatment for recurring illnesses such as ear infections and asthma;
  • Get preventative care to keep them well;
  • Get sick less often; and
  • Get the treatment they need when they are sick.
