WASHINGTON—As the 10-year anniversary of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program approaches, Congress will have an opportunity to build on the success that SCHIP, in partnership with Medicaid, has had in decreasing the uninsured rate of lowincome children.
“Of all our health care reform efforts, covering children has been resoundingly successful and efficient. Since 1997, SCHIP and Medicaid have reduced the uninsured rate of lowincome children by a third,” said Cindy Mann, executive director for the Center for Children and Families (CCF) at Georgetown University Health Policy Institute.
