A report released today shows Nevada made significant progress in reducing the number of uninsured children.

The report from Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute Center for Children and Families shows Nevada had the biggest percentage drop in uninsured children from 2013 to 2014. The rate of uninsured children fell 35 percent from 2013 to 2014.

However, Nevada is still one of the top 5 states in terms of children remaining uninsured.
