Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article reviews the impact of the Medicaid program, including the proportion of children in America insured by Medicaid; the extent to which Medicaid-enrolled children have access to care; the use of services and the quality of care received by Medicaid enrollees, including evidence for disease reduction; and family satisfaction with the program. RECENT FINDINGS: More than a quarter of all children in the United States were insured through public programs, primarily Medicaid, in 2002. Public insurance programs are even more critical for low-income children: 69.5% of children in families with incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level are covered by public programs. The reach of Medicaid is extensive, although substantial numbers of eligible children remain uninsured. Although Medicaid-insured children still face access barriers, particularly for certain types of specialty care, parents of children with public insurance report high levels of satisfaction with their experience with well-child care. While the study findings are mixed, several recent studies show very favorable comparisons between the experience of privately insured children and that of publicly insured children. SUMMARY: Medicaid plays a critical role in providing health insurance coverage for children, particularly for very low-income families. Additional efforts are needed to fully enroll all eligible families and to assure full access to high-quality care.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
