To improve child and maternal health across the nation, the federal government should guarantee universal health care coverage to all children and pregnant women. The United States lags far behind other industrialized nations in the percentage of insured children, despite spending more on health care per capita than any other advanced nation. This idea brief proposes two schemes for universal child and prenatal health insurance: a system of government subsidies and laws requiring children and pregnant women be insured, and a fully subsidized federal insurance program to offer comprehensive and uniform benefits to children and future mothers.
