According to a statement released today by the state Department of Health and Family Services, there were 16,000 uninsured kids in northeast Wisconsin, up 1,000 from the previous time. But the northeast Wisconsin records are contained by the report's margin of error so statistically, it considers the area unaffected.
"That is not to say that there was no alteration," said Jason Helgerson, a spokesman for the state Department of Health and Family Services. “The modification that appears in the approximation is not statistically important."
The information is estimates from a review the agency conducts.
The report, “2005 Wisconsin Health Insurance Coverage" point out that statewide, the number of uninsured children climbed about 22 percent in 2005."Every child earns to have high quality, complete health care," said Helene Nelson, the agency's secretary in an interview.
The region the report considered northeast Wisconsin included Brown, Calumet, Door, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Marinette, Marquette, Menominee, Oconto, Outagamie, Shawano, Sheboygan, Waupaca, Waushara and Winnebago region.
