Parents know that young children have a lot of doctor's appointments in their first three years.
That's part of the reason why health insurance is so important during that time, says Elizabeth Burak, senior research fellow at the Georgetown Center for Children and Families.
When they don't have access to the care that they need in those early years, they're at higher risk of falling behind developmentally.
She co-authored the recent report, which looked at data through 2024.
There are signs that this trend is only going to get worse.
An analysis by Burak's colleagues found 2 million fewer children covered by Medicaid now than there were when President Trump took office.
