CHIP Enrollment On The Rise
Vince Leibowitz | Sep 07, 2007 | Comments 0
After several long years of screw-ups, red tape, and private contractors, the “permanent wall” that was keeping many kids off CHIP has begun to erode and, thanks to Democrats, the program’s enrollment is on the rise once again:
A health program that covers low-income children grew more this month than predicted, mostly because a 90-day wait period for most new applicants has been eliminated.
Enrollment in the Children’s Health Insurance Program increased to about 327,000, a gain of more than 27,000 children over last month, state officials said Thursday.
Finally. You can thank Sylvester Turner (D-Houston) and a large number of Democrats for this.
