Medicaid and H.R. 1: Impacts on Children and Strategies to Protect Kids’ Health Care - Promising Futures

Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are the cornerstones of health insurance for millions of children and families.

Medicaid has a long history of supporting families to be healthy and heal together when there has been violence, abuse or neglect. For instance, Medicaid recognizes the importance of treating parents and young children together to improve mental health and the parent-child relationship. 38 states pay for dyadic treatment, and 17 states pay for group parenting classes.
