It has been successful in achieving this goal and providing health care to millions of children who would not have had coverage otherwise. Option A is incorrect because SCHIP has not extended health care to all children. Option B is incorrect because SCHIP covers children in families with higher income levels than Medicaid. Option D is incorrect because while support for SCHIP has fluctuated, it has not been consistently losing support among members of Congress during the Bush Administration. Option E is incorrect because while SCHIP is related to Medicaid, it is a separate program.
