Study finds many uninsured kids eligible but unaware of aid
A government study shows about 7 million eligible children lack health coverage because many parents do not know programs like CHIP or Medicaid exist. The report cites 2 million children enrolled in CHIP in 1999 and urges outreach to inform families that they can qualify without extremely low incomes.

States Coordinate CHIP Outreach Across Regions
Kansas City groups invite enrollment at a back-to-school event with clowns and music. New Mexico programs in Santa Fe reach 60 rural communities. Oklahoma and Texas highlight school-based enrollment help as part of a broader effort funded by the Dell Foundation to expand coverage for families, while a Boise photographer’s child gains CHIP coverage despite an asthma crisis. Eligibility varys by state and many families misjudge qualification thresholds, though most see government health programs as beneficial.
