Social policy in the United States stands in sharp contrast to that of most other developed nations. While most of these nations have an array of supportive social services to help families and children in poverty, the U.S. looks primarily to its schools to help children overcome the barriers to opportunity caused by poverty. Seven million children in the United States (one in every nine) have no health insurance coverage, whereas nearly all other developed nations have universal health coverage. One in five children in the U.S. live in poverty; among blacks and Hispanics, child poverty is one in three. In Western Europe, this figure averages less than 10 percent. The U.S. also faces a large and growing need to educate students who are not native English speakers. Eleven percent of students nationwide receive English Learner services.
