The majority of uninsured Latino children, an estimated 1.7 million, are eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) but not enrolled. Closing this coverage gap requires culturally-competent outreach techniques to connect eligible families with health coverage. Experts from national and local organizations discussed health and coverage disparities as well as effective outreach and enrollment activities going on in Latino communities.
