HARRISBURG, DAULPHIN COUNTY - Governor Corbett says he wants to re-energize the Chip health insurance plan for children.

The additional funding will be used to make more Pennsylvanians aware of the program and to expand the enrollment by 9,300 children.
The governor says about $1 million of the proposal will be used to toward the long-term goal of insuring all eligible children in Pennsylvania.
