What is the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP): Dental Care for Kids?
It really is an essential state program. In this way, the state shows that it cares about its citizens. And while children can’t be responsible for themselves and they can’t pay for themselves. As long as they are supported by their parents. Parents cannot afford to pay for a dentist or other doctor. And that’s how the state comes to the rescue. I would be interested to know what kind of services are provided for children for free and if thehealthysmile.net type services are included. But I’m happy there is such a thing in our world. After all, everyone deserves help.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-33) added a new Title XXI to the Social Security Act, creating the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. The program is designed to help states cover more uninsured children with new federal money that must be matched with state dollars. The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) may provide a dental benefit to low-income children as well. Check out what your state covers. The National Conference of State Legislatures has additional information on SCHIP and Oral Health.
