In February of 2009, Congress passed and the President signed the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act.  Established in 1997, Congress created CHIP to provide insurance coverage to uninsured children in families with incomes too high for Medicaid but not high enough to afford private or employer-sponsored coverage.
