WASHINGTON –- The key issue facing Congress as it prepares to reauthorize the State Children’s Health Insurance Program will be ensuring that the program receives sufficient federal funding to build on SCHIP’s successful track record, Cindy Mann, executive director of the Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University, said today at a congressional hearing.
“While there are a number of SCHIP financing issues, the single most important issue is whether sufficient federal funds will be made available to assure further gains in covering children,” Mann said during an appearance before the Senate Finance Committee.
