H.R. 2, Bipartisan Children's Health Bill, Will Provide Coverage to 11 Million Children
Date:1/13/2009

is growing each day.
  • This bill includes a provision -- supported by the American people -- that would give states the option of covering legal immigrant children who have been here less than five years under SCHIP and Medicaid. Their legal immigrant parents pay taxes and serve in the armed forces.

    Improves care and strengthens funding. The bill invests billions in new funding over five years in SCHIP in order to strengthen SCHIP's financing; increase health care coverage for low-income, uninsured children; and improve the quality of health care children receive.

    Provides resources for states to reach uninsured children who are today eligible for SCHIP and Medicaid but not yet enrolled. Two-thirds of uninsured children are currently eligible for coverage through SCHIP or Medicaid -- but better outreach an
