State Children's Health Insurance Funds to Expire; U.S. Congress Deliberates

By Dianne Finch on Thursday, June 14, 2007.

Within a few weeks, U.S. lawmakers are expected to vote on a bill reauthorizing SCHIP - the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

SCHIP funds health coverage for uninsured children and is scheduled to expire in September after a 10-year run.

Over 7,000 children in New Hampshire rely on SCHIP for health coverage.

But the Bush Administration has proposed a budget increase for SCHIP that is 90 percent lower than what Congress is considering.

So the upcoming debate has state health officials sitting on pins and needles wondering if lawmakers will come through.
