For some children, it absolutely is. For some families, CHIP makes it so they don't have to choose between food and health care. There are other programs out there, but even with CHIP there is not enough to meet the need. Poor children die all the time because of inadequate access to health care, and cutting CHIP funding will increase those numbers.
