Among the options given below , option A is the correct answer.

to provide working parents with an affordable health care option for their children.

Explanation: The state Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is policy that provide health care to the children whose parents income is high which exceeds the medicaid limit, but not high enough for private health care.Normally a family consist of four members,which has a annual income of 45000 dollars qualify for the program.But it may change from state to state. This policy was passed by Congress in 1997 during Clinton administration. This policy is called by different name in different states. It is supported by the federal government which provides fund to the state government for the program. This program covers the annual check up,immunization and sometimes the pregnant women also.

However this program is seen as a great relief to the family which neither qualify for the state medicaid policy,nor can afford the private health care.
