CHILDREN IN CRISIS: The Story of CHIP

In the early 1980s, the steel industry collapsed, leaving families without any healthcare coverage for their children. As displaced steelworkers banded with church leaders in the hardest hit sections of Pittsburgh, a grassroots program expanded into one of the most important federal children's healthcare programs ever enacted – the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
