Reauthorizing SCHIP: Principles, Issues and Ideas from State Directors Updated January 2009

With reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) moving quickly through Congress, this State Health Policy briefing seeks to inform the federal legislators and other policymakers about the issues of greatest concern to SCHIP program directors related to the reauthorization. The brief was developed by NASHP through in-depth conversations with and input from a workgroup of state SCHIP directors, and reviewed by all SCHIP directors. Publication of the brief was made possible through the generous support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation as part of broader efforts to provide assistance and report on state SCHIP programs since the program’s inception.
