The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is a joint federal-state effort to provide health insurance to children whose family incomes are too high for Medicaid but too low to allow the family to obtain private coverage. Created in 1997, the program represents the largest expansion of government spending for children's health care since the creation of Medicaid. RAND studies have examined how SCHIP affects access to needed health care services for low-income children, as well as disparities in use of services across ethnic and language groups, and the children's health-related quality of life.
