Shortly after Barack Obama was sworn in as President, he signed into law the State Children’s Health Insurance Program – commonly referred to as SCHIP. The bill, which was first enacted in 1997, ensures that children receive the healthcare coverage they need when their families:
- Don’t make enough money to afford private insurance, but
- Make too much to qualify for Medicaid.
The bill is now authorized for another 10 years and will help to cover millions of currently uninsured children – including those with disabilities like cerebral palsy. To learn more about the program, visit Insure Kids Now!
