Another volley of paperwork continued until August 1997, when Congress passed the CHIP program, overtaking the state plan. But even then, Bush took his time to start up CHIP, although the program requires less of a state contribution than Medicaid (25 percent versus 40 percent). When CHIP finally did start, last May, a total of five years had passed since the legislature first attempted to cover many of the same youngsters...
