House Dems to Reintroduce S-CHIP

HeadlineOct 25, 2007

In other news from Washington, House Democrats are expected to introduce a new version today of their $35 billion expansion to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as S-CHIP. President Bush vetoed the first measure earlier this month. In a nod to win Republican support, the Democratic bill will emphasize that children of undocumented workers will not have access to the expanded healthcare program.
