under the new law chip (the children's coverage program) will continue to be available until at least 2019. states are required to maintain their chip eligibility through that year. one additional thing to note. in some states enrollment caps have been established for the chip program. those kids who may be excluded because of caps are to be given the option of enrolling in the newly expanded medicaid program if in fact a state has expanded medicaid under the new law.
are there still going to be programs like chip available once obamacare goes into effect?
