INSURANCE POPULATION RECEIVING MEDICAID
Research is ongoing about FIGURE 21
access to health care and social Insured, Medicaid, 2013-2017 services as a protective factor
in relation to child abuse and
maltreatment. For this reason,
the present assessment
included information on Medic-
aid utilization as an indicator of
community residents that have
access to regular medical care
who might not otherwise due
to low income. No significant
changes have occurred accord-
ing to this meaure. That being
said, the current pandemic
makes any barrier to care yet
more critical than it already is.
