History

In 1997, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to cover children from families whose incomes are low but too high for Medicaid. PeachCare for Kids was founded in 1999 as Georgia's SCHIP. As of 2009, an average of 1.4 million Georgians are enrolled.
