Expenditures on Health Care for Children and Pregnant Women.

Lewit, Eugene M.; Monheit, Alan C.

Future of Children, v2 n2 p95-114 Win 1992

Analyzes annual medical expenditures for childhood (conception through age 18 years). A decline in the relative share of children's medical expenditures means that their health care will become more affordable compared to other groups. The least budget impact will result from expanding insurance coverage for 3- to 12-year-old children. (SLD)
