TAKE ACTION: REAUTHORIZE THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM

Image
The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) ensures nearly 9 million children have health insurance. CHIP is a federal-state partnership where the federal government provides most—or in some cases, all—of the funding necessary to cover uninsured children.
