According to Families USA over 9 million children in America do not have health insurance. On January 29, 2009, the Senate passed CHIP and the House approved on February 4, 2009. President Obama did not wait one day and signed the bill on the same day.
CHIP stands for Children's Health Insurance Program, and it was created to provide health coverage to low income children in families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid. All states have a CHIP program and are able to design the program according to their desires.
If your child is not insured, check out your states local CHIP program. Protect your child and yourself.
