Governing: The last time the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) needed to be reauthorized was back in 2015. That year, Congress took until April to approve the funding. It was the closest Congress had ever come to the program’s reauthorization deadline.
Until this year.
Fast forward to 2017, and the program has been expired for almost two months since Congress let the deadline pass on Sept. 30.
“It was terrible then [in 2015], so the idea that it’s come and gone is just ... nobody could have predicted this,” says Linda Nablo, chief deputy director of the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services.
