Fact Sheets: Medicaid & CHIP Provide Quality Health Insurance for Half of Pennsylvania Kids – February 2026

At Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, our goal is for every child to have health insurance that provides regular access to quality medical care for physical and mental health. Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) play a crucial role in keeping kids covered and healthy in every community across Pennsylvania from our rural communities to large cities. Through these options, 47% of Pennsylvania kids have access to preventive care like well check-ups and vaccinations, and to ongoing care for chronic conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, depression, or autism. The three fact sheets in this series show enrollment by Congressional, state House, and state Senate district.
