Here's what I found.

"Yes, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was renewed through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, extending the program's funding until 2029. CHIP is a federal-state partnership that provides health insurance coverage to low-income children and pregnant women who are ineligible for Medicaid. States run the programs, but they must follow requirements set by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services."

I used three sources (triangulating the data) the CDC, Medicaid, and Wikipedia. I don't know where you got your information, but I'm convinced that it is incorrect.

While YOU may disagree with U.S. foreign policy, which both predates Biden and will certainly follow him, it does not then follow that it is a policy failure. It is your belief and not a fact. I agree that in a nuclear age, no nation should be threatening or bullying another nation. However, such behavior is not limited to the U.S. That does not mean that it is right, but it is realpolitik which we must recogonize.

Your experience of being refused treatment is unfortunate, and I hope that you will be able to be cared for soon. Again, you realize that your personal issues with health care cannot be laid at the door of the Biden administration. That seems to be more of an issue between you and your relevant health providers and insurers. What would you like the President to do about it? While this must be frustrating, indeed, it is far removed from any "policy failure" emanating from the White House.

While I appreciate your earnest disagreement, I cannot find your arguments either accurate or convincing, and they appear to be formed in the absence of any real-world consideration. I also appreciate your taking the time to read and respond to my article. It proves your desire to enter the conversation seriously.

I do not find any political party perfect, but I agree with one party's vision of America more than the other's. Get your hands on Project 2025, read it, and appreciate the policy decisions that a Republican administration will make. It should scare you.
