Over seventy one thousand children in Arkansas do not have health insurance and SCHIP helps cover these children. "With a lot of working families that fall through the cracks, those you can not afford insurance on their own but, they are working hard to keep their families together. Working hard at their jobs then they might make to much to qualify for Medicaid but, they need help because health insurance is so expensive. This a program that helps those individuals." said U.S Senator Blanche Lincoln. This program was enacted in 1997 and since then, uninsured children in Arkansas has declined by sixty-one percent
