Another 13 percent are born preterm, and 17 percent don't receive the immunizations they need.
Fifteen percent of children are overweight or obese and only 63 percent saw both a dentist and a primary care physician at least once last year.

Delaware Health Insurance Laws
Delaware law allows insurance companies to turn you down for coverage. Pre-existing conditions can be permanently excluded. Once you have purchased a plan you can still be excluded for a medical condition originally covered by your plan. Pregnancy can be a pre-existing condition. There are no regulations limiting premium prices. The state prohibits cancellation of your policy if you become sick. If you are eligible for HIPAA, insurance companies must offer you a choice of two policies. Contact your state insurance department for HIPAA eligibility qualifications.
