Nearly 2 million children will lose health coverage starting next month if Congress doesn’t renew funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) by Friday, a new report projects.
Already, state CHIP administrators say, parents are panicking and permanent damage has been done to the program, set up to take care of kids who don’t have health insurance through other programs.
CHIP covers 9 million children across the country. Congress failed to authorize funding in September, and some states have already started warning parents to get their last medical visits in while money lasts.

Nobody objects to children getting medical care. The issue is who should pay for it. It's the responsibility of parents to think about how they will pay for these things before having children. The federal government already had a huge and growing budget deficit. Now is not the time to add to it.
