Providing health insurance for US children would be cheaper than expected

Providing health insurance for US children would be cheaper than expected "'The collective body of research that we have reviewed,' Ho and Short said, 'provides compelling evidence that covering all children in the United States with health insurance will yield immediate improvements in the health of children, as well as long-term returns of greater health and productivity in adulthood. The upfront incremental costs of universal health insurance coverage for children are relatively modest, and they will be offset by the value of increased health capital gained in the long term.'"
