Posts - Bill - S 2496 Keep Kids Covered Act
senate 07/29/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to ensure that children enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP have continuous health coverage from birth through age 6, and that former foster youth remain covered until age 26, so they don’t lose access to essential care during critical years. This bill aims to reduce gaps in coverage by extending eligibility periods and simplifying the renewal process.

Six years of coverage? Sounds like sensible planning, not just politicking.
