| Notes: Estimates are not reported for uninsured special-needs child due to small sample size. Children with other insurance coverage are not reported as a
separate category due to small sample size, but are included in totals for all children. * Difference from children with special health care needs is statistically significant at p<.05. # Difference from privately insured is statistically significant at p<.05.
