CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Children’s Health Insurance Program would be eliminated by the health care reform bills now before Congress. None of the bills provide a specific replacement for the popular program, according to national child advocacy groups.
“CHIP has been an enormously successful program, and it’s not clear what would replace it,” said Renate Pore, founder of the West Virginia Healthy Kids and Families Coalition. “Everybody is very concerned about that.”
