MACPAC Recommends Two-Year CHIP Funding Extension
On Friday, members of the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program Payment and Access Commission unanimously voted to suggest that Congress extend funding for CHIP for an additional two years to give time to fix insurance plans offered through the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges. The suggestion will be included in the committee's report to Congress in June.
