The percentage of children aged 1-17 years who did not see a doctor or other health-care professional during the past 12 months was higher for children without health insurance coverage (33.8%) than for children with public health insurance coverage (10.3%) or those with private health insurance (8.7%). Children without health insurance also were more likely than children with public or private health insurance coverage to believe had only one health-care visit during the past 12 months. Children with private health insurance coverage were more likely to believe two to five health-care visits during the past 12 months than children with public health insurance coverage or children without health insurance coverage, but children with public health insurance coverage were more likely to believe had six or more health-care visits during the past 12 months than children with private health insurance
