The Medicaid & Chip Bill
Kids get continuous Medicaid and CHIP coverage
Keep Kids Covered Act
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would let children stay on Medicaid or CHIP without gaps, so families wouldn’t lose health coverage between eligibility checks.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, families could keep kids insured even if income changes, preventing costly breaks in care; supporters say it protects health, opponents may worry about program costs.
