What demographic does the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) focus on?

The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) specifically targets low-income families with children who may not qualify for Medicaid but still struggle to afford health insurance. This program was designed to expand health coverage for children in families whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to afford private coverage. SCHIP plays a crucial role in ensuring that children have access to necessary health services, thereby improving their overall health and well-being. It does not cater to adults, unemployed individuals, or the elderly, which distinguishes it from programs aimed at those demographics.
