According to the additional statistics, there are 7.2 million young people who are
without insurance in this country (CDF, 2012). Therefore, the CHIP program is
helping to close the gap between those children who are with health insurance and
those who are without insurance. Unfortunately, at least half of those young people
are actually eligible for this program, and are either unaware that they are eligible
or are prevented from enrolling due to bureaucratic issues (CDF, 2). Based upon a
bill that was endorsed both by President Obama and congress; this newly signed bill
proposes to help 4.1 million children to get coverage (Barlas, 2013), so that they too
can be insured.
Unfortunately, even though this program was developed for and functions to
provide assistance for those families who happen to fall into a middle category
social economically. This program happens to suffer from rendering minority
cultures and communities from receiving as much support as more affluent
communities. According to research, the communities of Black and Hispanic
families are not receiving funding support at as much of a proportionate as white
and more affluent communities (Choi, Benjamin, McWilliams, 2011). Hopefully, these
disproportionate dispersements in funding for memberships recruitment efforts and
enrollments can realigned going forward, in order than all children of all groups are
allotted well-ness and well baby examinations, surgeries, dental, x-ray, hospital and lab
services because these are all necessary medical services that all children need.
