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.January 2009» -
Reauthorizing SCHIP: Principles, Issues and Ideas from State Directors
This April 2007 Issue Brief describes the current views of SCHIP directors on key issues being considered in the reauthorization process. While it does not capture all of the views of all of the states on all issues relevant to reauthorization, it represents the views of most states on issues of priority concern to them. The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) deservedly enjoys broad support as a successful program. That success rests on a legislative foundation enacted as a result of careful bi-partisan compromise. Title XXI of the Social Security Act established a federal-state partnership program with a delicate balance of state flexibility and core program requirements. SCHIP was created with the goal of providing health coverage for low-income, uninsured children. This essential program, now serving more than six million, is up for reauthorization this year.April 2007 -
