The CHIP health coverage program primarily serves which populations?

  1. Low-income elderly citizens

  2. Uninsured children and low-income pregnant women

  3. Adults without insurance

  4. Retired individuals with low income

The correct answer is: Uninsured children and low-income pregnant women

The CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) is specifically designed to provide health coverage for uninsured children in families with incomes that are too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to afford private coverage. Additionally, CHIP also extends its coverage to low-income pregnant women in certain states. This focus on ensuring healthcare access for children and vulnerable populations like low-income pregnant women makes this option the most accurate representation of the populations served by CHIP. The program aims to bridge the gap in health insurance for those who fall into this category, promoting better health outcomes for children and addressing the needs of families during critical periods of growth and development.
