The federal government has approved Arizona's plan to expand the Kids Care program, providing subsidized health insurance to children of working families who earn too much for AHCCCS but not enough to afford insurance. The expansion is expected to cover around 10,000 more kids, with increased subsidy rates for childcare providers in Montana to support families.
.@CMSGov has approved an amendment to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System section 1115 demonstration. This allows AZ to expand coverage to its #CHIP population, known as “KidsCare”—an estimated 9,700 additional children will now be eligible for health insurance. https://t.co/VJQxRimH7b
