House Passes New Children’s Health Insurance Legislation
The U.S. House of Representatives voted today on a new compromise that would reauthorize the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and help provide health insurance to four million low-income children who otherwise would not be covered. The bill passed with strong bipartisan support by a vote of 265 to 142, nearly a veto-proof margin.
