CHIP is insurance primarily for which group?

• A. Seniors on fixed incomes
• B. Women of childbearing age
• C. Children of low socioeconomic families who do not qualify for Medicaid
• D. All uninsured adults

Answer: (C)

CHIP fills a gap by providing health coverage for children in families whose income is too high for Medicaid but too low to comfortably afford private insurance. Its goal is to ensure kids get essential care, preventive services, and treatments they need. Because CHIP is specifically aimed at children in low-income households, the description that best matches it is children of families with limited resources who don’t qualify for Medicaid. The other options focus on adults (seniors or all uninsured adults) or on women of childbearing age, which aren’t the program’s primary target.
