Children's
Health Insurance Program
SCHIP
- the State Children's Health Insurance Program - is helping
kids across America to grow up strong and healthy. Each state
has a customized plan that provides free or low-cost health
insurance to children in working families who don't have enough
money to pay for insurance. States are working to enroll more
children.

signals. |
