The 2018 federal poverty guidelines used to determine eligibility for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) set a poverty line of $25,100 for a family of four in the 48 contiguous states. For Alaska and Hawaii, this level was set at $31,380 and $28,870, respectively. Why do you suppose this measure of poverty was set higher in Alaska and Hawaii than in the other 48 states? Do you believe that setting the poverty line higher in Alaska and Hawaii, but not in any of the other states, is justified? Explain your answer.
