Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA)

The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) is legislation that provides funding and updates to the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which offers affordable health coverage for children in families with incomes too high for Medicaid but too low to afford private insurance. CHIPRA aims to improve access to healthcare, expand coverage options, and enhance the quality of care for children, ensuring they receive necessary medical services, preventive care, and treatment. The act helps states maintain and improve their programs, making health insurance more available and affordable for children across the United States.
