Crafting a Better Compromise to Cover Kids
ARRA: This week we learn that the Democrats have forced through an expanded State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) that would double -- from 4 million to 8 million -- the number of children covered. The reauthorization bill "fails to focus on poor children, and instead creates a new entitlement program for higher-income households," said White House Press Secretary Dana Perino in a written statement. "The president will veto this bill because it directs scarce funding to higher incomes at the expense of poor families." See:Senate passes children's health insurance bill, Bush vows to veto
It is time again to focus on "Crafting a Better Compromise to Cover Kids." Such and approach is provided by Nina Owcharenko and Stuart M.

This "compromise" does little to bridge the differences in opinion on how best to address the needs of uninsured children. Instead, Congress should consider a bipartisan approach that is broad and balanced. Congress should reauthorize SCHIP and use innovative policy tools to expand access to private coverage for children. Read Full Article
