Congress Poised to Add Millions of Uninsured Children to Successful, Bipartisan H...(people expect us to doin Washington Sen...),Health

"For two years now, the number of uninsured children in our nation has increased each year," Congressman Frank Pallone (NJ) said. "However, Washington has an opportunity to reverse this troubling trend by strengthening the Children's Health Insurance Program. In the coming weeks, I hope that we can send the president a final CHIP bill that will allow us to ensure that more than 100,000 additional children in New Jersey receive access to health insurance so they can live long and healthy lives."

The Families USA report on the impact of the proposed SCHIP legislation -- both House and Senate version -- on the number of uninsured children in each state is available at http://www.familiesusa.org/assets/pdfs/chip-kids-waiting.pdf
