Long-Term Policy Options for Children’s Coverage

Among the concerns for children if CHIP ends are increased uninsurance, affordability of premiums and cost sharing, variation in benefits across coverage sources and plans, and the adequacy of provider networks for children.

This staff presentation raises possible approaches to ameliorate a variety of gaps that families with CHIP could confront should they move their children to an exchange, including the family glitch, high premiums, copayments, and deductibles, fewer plans with dental coverage, among other covered services for children.
