The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides health insurance for low-income children and pregnant women that have no health insurance and are not eligible for Medicaid. The Affordable Care Act, extended CHIP through 2019 but it is only funded until September 1, 2015. Congress needs to act in order to ensure that CHIP continues to provide insurance coverage for low-income children in our state.
The Maternal, Child and Family Health Coalition urges you to learn more about this issue and to contact your Congressional delegation about this issue. The Missouri Children’s Leadership Council has a short webinar with all the information you need to know and how to take action. You can view the webinar by clicking here.
