SCHIP

SCHIP and Medicaid have been resoundingly successful in providing health care to children. Despite the success, more still needs to be done to cover the remaining 9 million children in America who are uninsured.

Working at the federal level, the Center for Children and Families works to ensure that SCHIP and Medicaid policy actions and reforms (particulary SCHIP reauthorization up for renewal in early 2009) meet the needs of America's children and families. Our work includes policy and analysis of key program issues and providing states with critical resources.

Some of the policy issues we work, or have worked, on include:
  • Financing under SCHIP
  • Centers for Medicaid and Medicaid's August 17 Directive
  • 2007 SCHIP Reauthorization Process
Information on these issues can be found in the Federal Policy section of the State Resource Center.
