Which counties qualify for the County Children's Health Initiative Program (CCHIP)?
Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange
San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara
Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Bernardino
Riverside, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura
The correct answer is: San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara
The chosen answer is correct as the County Children's Health Initiative Program (CCHIP) specifically extends to counties that have implemented local programs to cover uninsured children in families with incomes too high to qualify for existing state and federal health programs but too low to afford private coverage. San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara are examples of counties that have established their own local initiatives under CCHIP, thus allowing them to offer health care programs to eligible children residing in these areas. Integrating this local initiative into its health program allows California to reach more children in need of health insurance and reinforces the overall objective of expanding health coverage for low-to-moderate-income families throughout the state. This localized approach is crucial as it enables these counties to tailor their programs to meet the specific health care needs and circumstances of their community. The other counties listed in the alternatives either do not have CCHIP programs or their initiatives do not fall under the CCHIP purview, which is why they do not meet the criteria for this particular question.
