On the waiver grant, Congressman Fred Keller (R-PA) made the following statement:
“I thank President Donald Trump and his administration for granting this important COVID-19-related waiver to the Children’s Health Insurance Program in Pennsylvania. The waiver will ensure caregivers of CHIP recipients have the flexibility they need during these difficult times to pay premiums, renew policies, and ensure the children under their care can receive the help they need for COVID-19 testing and treatment.
“Fighting COVID-19 is truly an all-of-government effort and the President and his administration have never wavered from that commitment.”
