Medicaid and CHIP are vital programs for providing health coverage to children in low-income families.
- Medicaid: This program offers free or low-cost coverage and is funded jointly by state and federal governments. Eligibility varies by state but generally includes children from low-income households. - CHIP: This program targets uninsured children who do not qualify for Medicaid but still need affordable health coverage. It covers routine check-ups, immunizations, and emergency care, among other services.
