Chips? Where do you live? This is a phrase to describe an education objective in the U.S.A.
3 :
I wish
4 :
Nope. That's purely education. From my experience, it has failed. It brought the education standards to the people instead of bringing the people to the education standards.
5 :
No. It was only for education. it was G.W. Bush's response to the American student not being ranked #1 compared to the rest of the world.
6 :
all i know is the "no child left behind" is a school program.

oh wow Umm try blue cross and blue shield....and what do you mean by reasonable?? i hope you don't mean cheap, those are your kids. If anything should happen, your kids need to be covered!!! Blue cross and blue shield is a good option

No, it does not. It refers to a pratice of determining how federal funds are distributed among America;s schools. In reality it doesn't affect the individual child and im sure some get left behind but it was designed to overhall the education system during the last presidential term.

no child left behind refers to an educational program where schools get paid based on the success rate of their standardized tests. It is actually absolutely horrid as it forces schools to treat every child as though they're a machine to be put into a box. It has absolutely nothing to do with health insurance.

all health insurances are different. Your going to have to shop around yourself because you know what coverage you need and at what price. I would recommend though you find a job that provides health care even if your being paid a bit less. Trust me its worth it.
11 :
NOPE, TRY BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD

unfortunately, there isnt an answer besides taking out insurance on your own. CHIPS is the last resort for parents that dont meet the income requirements of traditional medicaid. i would suggest that you find a good clinic that works on a sliding scale based on your income. Its very sad that there are children like yours(and MANY others) that arent poor enough to get help but dont make enough to buy insurance. Good Luck on finding a good doc at a local clinic.

Check into Coventry One insurance. I just got it for myself, my son is covered by the state. It's high deductible insurance but it's better than nothing at all.

No it doesn't, no child left behind is an educational program. You'll obviously need to provide supplemental health care coverage for your children. There are plenty of programs out there that will offer various types of coverage based on how much you can afford to pay. Work out a budget, cut down where you can in your daily spending/weekly spending and find a comprehensive insurance plan for your children. Google private health insurance providers and do some research to find which one would be right for you and your family.

buying out of pocket is expensive. There's usually places that will do low cost physicals and immunizations but if something goes really wrong you're screwed. "No Child Left Behind" is just about academics and not health. They're suppose to be expanding SCHIP to higher earners but I'm not sure when and how that's going to work.

I live in New York. there is a program, Healthy Kids. It is an insurance program run through different companys. We got it for our kids when my husband changed jobs and lost our benefits. Every child under 18 is ellegable but depending on your income you do have to pay into it, but it is MUCH less than you would expect. we pay $35 a month for both kids, and the benefits are great. we were able to keep thier pediatrician and dont have to go to a clinic. It is a form of welfare, so you can call in your area to see if something like that is available to you. Anyone is ellegable no matter what you make, you would just have to pay a bit more but not nearly the amount if you were to get it on your own. I dont know what chips is, it may be the same thing. My kids have Blue cross blue shield
