Healthcare for children S Chip

[sonj]

No, this is not just for children? It covers kids I think up to 21, but I will check.

What I meant is it is not for adult parents....I know my brother was able to be on my mothers insurance till he was 21 as long as he was in college. I do believe this is a common practice for insurance companies...as long as the "kid" is in school.

Update: "President Bush on Saturday signed into law legislation that extends a U.S. children's health insurance program after twice vetoing bills to increase funding. The State Children's Health Insurance Program, which covers about 6.6 million children whose families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, will maintain coverage at its current funding level through March 31, 2009. The measure, titled the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007, also increases Medicare payments to doctors."
