Insure Texas Kids! Campaign

Statewide collaboration with the Texas CHIP Coalition

Cut the Number of Uninsured Texas Children in Half by enrolling every eligible child in CHIP & Medicaid.

  Implement 12 months continuous eligibility for CHIP and Children’s Medicaid
  Fix problems with the Integrated Eligibility System to prevent eligible kids from losing coverage
  Provide adequate reimbursement for Medicaid and CHIP providers
  Invest in outreach and education to ensure that all eligible children get the care that they need
 

Adopt these CHIP policies that encourage personal responsibility while helping low income families to achieve self-sufficiency:

  1. Eliminate the asset test
  2. Eliminate the 90 day waiting period for uninsured children
  3. Deduct childcare and child support expenses when calculating income
