This webinar discussed a new ACAP report authored by The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health called Continuous Medicaid Eligibility for Children and Their Health.

About half of all states offer 12-month continuous eligibility to Children in their Medicaid programs; the study examines the association of continuous eligibility for children with insurance gaps, access to preventive, general and specialty care, and health status.
