Uninsured children continue to increase in state

The number of children without health insurance in South Carolina has grown 29 percent in three years, according to a national health care advocacy, making the state 13th worst in the nation.

The report by Families USA said 132,000 Palmetto State children were uninsured based on U.S. Census Bureau data for 2005-2007. That's about 12 percent of all South Carolina children are without health insurance.
