Two particularly disappointing things worth noting that are raised in this @CenterOnBudget blog from @jcrosscall on the CCF report.https://www.cbpp.org/blog/childrens-uninsured-rate-rose-for-second-straight-year-in-2018 …

More evidence on this front this morning. A new report from @GeorgetownCCF shows that the uninsured rate among children continued to rise in 2018.
Georgia had the fifth highest rate of uninsured children in 2018 #gapol

1. Across the South the children's uninsured rate is 3 points higher than the rate in the rest of the country, despite the fact that some of our neighbors like AL, LA, and AR have uninsured rates significantly *lower* than the national rate. TX, FL, and GA are the drivers.

2. Uninsured rate for Hispanic children rose from 7.9% in '17 to 8.2% in '18, likely due in part to punitive, anti-immigrant policies from the admin It doesn't have to be that way. Policies that are inclusive of immigrants will help states prosper

For instance, Georgia (and a lot of other states) could provide health coverage for children regardless of immigration status.

GA could also join many other states in allowing legal permanent residents to access Medicaid without waiting for five years

The administration could choose not to pursue policies that sow fear in immigrant communities and result in immigrants in the US legally and family members forgoing health coverage, nutrition assistance & housing assistance they need and are eligible for. https://www.cbpp.org/press/statements/trump-administration-rule-will-harm-immigrant-families-and-ill-serve-america …

Ensuring children have access to health coverage really isn't rocket science. And reversing the progress made over the last decade - as we're seeing in GA and other states - is unacceptable.
