Effects of the Children's Health Insurance Reauthorization Act on immigrant children's healthcare access.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of the Children's Health Insurance Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) on insurance coverage, access, utilization, and health outcomes among immigrant children. The researchers utilized the restricted use 2000-2016 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)with a sample which included immigrant children between the ages of 0 and 18 born outside the United States, with family income below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The study found that CHIPRA was related with a decrease in uninsured rates and an increase in public insurance enrollment for immigrant children. The effects of CHIPRA became small and statistically not significant 3 years after adoption. The researchers found no significant changes in health care access and utilization, and health outcomes, overall and across subgroups due to CHIPRA. The researchers concluded that the eligibility expansion of CHIPRA was related with increases in public insurance coverage for low-income children. However, no effect of CHIPRA on access to care and health was found.
