Despite its success, CHIP faces several challenges, including:
Funding Uncertainty: CHIP funding must be reauthorized periodically by Congress, leading to potential gaps in coverage. Enrollment Barriers: Complex application processes and lack of awareness can prevent eligible families from enrolling. Coverage Gaps: Some families may still face coverage gaps if their income fluctuates or if they move between states with different eligibility criteria.
Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensuring that CHIP continues to provide vital health coverage to children in need.
