On January 10, the American Academy of Family Physicians sent a letter to Congressional leadership calling for long-term funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), teaching health centers, and the National Health Services Corps.
A Congressional Budget Office report shows that enacting a 10-year CHIP extension would decrease the deficit by $6 billion over the 2018-27 period. A new report shows that 11 states would exhaust funds before the end of January.
