It’s being called a historic milestone – a report released Thursday shows 95 percent of children in the U.S. had health care coverage in 2015, following the largest two-year decline of the uninsured rate on record.

In Michigan, the uninsured rate for kids dropped by 24 percent between 2013 and 2015, according to the analysis from the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families.

President and C-E-O of Michigan’s Children Matt Gillard says strengthening the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and CHIP are important to keep the trend moving in improving access to health insurance. But he says there's also a need for reinvestment in programs that serve the educational, social-emotional and economic needs of families.

"While we're doing well on the health insurance side, and that's certainly important, there's many other areas that we'd love to see policymakers and the administration focus on to make sure that we're doing all that we can for kids and families here in Michigan. "

The report shows there are still an estimated 68 thousand uninsured Michigan children.
