CHIP Reauthorization Act

The CHIP Reauthorization Act is legislation that extends funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides health coverage to uninsured children in low- to moderate-income families. This program ensures that eligible children can receive essential health services like doctor visits, vaccinations, and emergency care. The reauthorization process periodically reviews and renews funding to maintain these benefits. The act highlights the commitment to child health and aims to promote better health outcomes for underserved populations while reducing the number of uninsured children in the United States.
