Newport, WA, February 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Cheap Living Tips Reports Health Insurance Available for Children of Low Income Households

In an article published February 4, 2009 on the anniversary of the President Obama's signing Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) Cheap Living Tips announced that according to CHIPRA statistics over half of the children in the United States who currently have no health insurance are likely eligible to receive medical coverage through a state sponsored medical program.

Cheap Living Tips noted that the CHIPRA bill committed an additional $33 billion in federal funds to made available to states to fund low income health insurance for uninsured children over the next four and one-half years (2009 – 2013).

CheapLivingTips notes that CHIPRA was designed to provide coverage to uninsured children and make sure they stay enrolled and have access to high quality care.

According to Susan Young, Managing Editor of Cheap Living Tips (cheaplivingtips.com), “proponents of the program indicate the increased funds awarded to the states will make it possible for five of the eight million uninsured children in the United States to qualified for Federal and State programs under Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

“People often believe they would not qualify for state medical aid because one or more of the parents are working.” Young states “it is a common misconception that one must be receiving a Welfare check to get Medicaid however that is not necessarily the case. Even though each state sets up their own aid programs and the names of the state program and exact qualifications may vary, in most states a family of four earning less than $44,000/year would be qualified for low income health insurance through a CHIPRA funded program.”

Cheap Living Tips also provided additional resources and a video expounding the beneficial results of CHIPRA low income health insurance programs which was originally published on the Federal website, InsureKidsNow.gov and Cheap Living Tips directs their readers to go directly to their state's website for more detailed information about the CHIPRA program.
