This brief examines changes in health insurance coverage and health care access and affordability for parents and their children between 2013 and 2018 using data from the Health Reform Monitoring Survey.

More than one in five low-income parents are uninsured, with the highest levels of uninsurance found among low-income parents in states that have not expanded Medicaid.
