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.
