CHIPRA (Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act)

The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) is a law that expanded health insurance coverage for children from low- to moderate-income families in the United States. It reauthorized and improved the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which helps states provide affordable health care to children who do not qualify for Medicaid but still need assistance. CHIPRA increased funding, aimed to enhance coverage options, and promoted outreach efforts to ensure more eligible children received health care. Overall, it supports the health and well-being of children by making necessary medical services more accessible and affordable.
