Madison ranks No. 1 in insurance for kids

More than four-fifths of the children in Wisconsin's state capital are covered by private health insurance, the best percentage among the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas.

Just 17.9 percent of the children in Madison are not covered by private health policies, according to a Business First of Buffalo analysis of new U.S. Census Bureau data.

The bureau estimates that the Madison area has 123,700 persons under the age of 18. Private insurers cover 101,600, leaving 22,100 either under a government insurance program or without health coverage of any kind.

Right behind Madison are Honolulu, where only 18.4 percent of children are not under the umbrella of private health insurance, Ogden, Utah, at 19.4 percent, and Minneapolis-St. Paul at 19.9 percent uncovered. Milwaukee was 38th among the largest metros with 29.4 percent of children not covered by private insurance.

Two Texas metros on the Mexican border have the worst rates in the country. More than three-quarters of the children in McAllen-Edinburg -- 77.0 percent -- are not covered by private health insurance. The corresponding figure in the El Paso area is 63.5 percent.

Buffalo ranks 39th among the top 100 markets, with 29.7 percent of its children not covered by private insurers. (The Buffalo area consists of Erie and Niagara counties.) The median for the entire study group is 31.3 percent uncovered.

Business First analyzed recently released data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, which generates statistics during the years between the bureau's decennial head counts.

The following are the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas, listed according to the percentage of children who are not covered by private health insurance. Metros are listed from the lowest to the highest percentage of uncovered persons under the age of 18:

Somewhere I read about the cheaper rate from online insurance quote providers. It is getting cheaper by significant amount. Available data shows that online quoted rate has down by $96 since November 2008. Expecting more drops in online quotes in this year end at least by 4% more till December 20009.

What is the basic difference between Life Insurance and Term Policy? Which one is the best to buy. My age is 30 years, I want to buy insurance policy but I am not able to decide yet. I want some best deal online. I am low in budget so want best possible insurance policy.

What do I need to do if my policy is misplaced? How much I need to pay for duplicate policy? Incase It found after issuing duplicate insurance policy then what I need to do with the older policy? Is it possible to buy duplicate policy online in case I misplace my policy?

The Mercer health survey with more than 2,900 employers, including 88 in Wisconsin found that the cost of health benefits for employees nationally rose 5.5 percent for the year, the smallest annual increase in a decade. In Wisconsin, costs increased by 6.8 percent - one of the highest in the nation. WOW!

BCBS PPO coverage for weight loss surgery? I have recently been considering having the lap band done. I am wondering would BCBS PPO cover for it. I am a dependent on this insurance and I am 21. I am covered until I am 25. I have heard it depends on what policy the employer agrees upon but I am not sure what kind of policy my parents have. Does anyone know what kind of policy WLS would be covered under. And if not covered all the way would it be covered any? I am a little apprehensive about doing all this but I need to find out if I am even covered at all and I'm not quite sure how to go about finding out how. insure

Thanks for the information. I decided to buy an HSA but I went with another broker in Ohio. Their firm specializes in that type of policy. insure
