Samantha Artiga talked about Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the federal program that offers health insurance coverage for children in low-income families. She also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Topics included the history of the program, the number of children it covers, and eligibility requirements.

This program was part of C-SPAN's "Your Money" series. Each Monday morning the last hour of "Washington Journal" is devoted to a federal program, focusing on its mission, participants, and cost.
