Answer to Question 1

D
The State Children's Health Insurance Program has expanded coverage to many uninsured children who are ineligible for Medicaid. The Division of Maternal and Child Health does not provide insurance. HIPAA protects privacy. WIC is a supplemental food program.

Answer to Question 2

C
