Abstract:
During the upcoming SCHIP reauthorization debate, federal lawmakers have the responsibility to evaluate both the effectiveness of the program's funding and the soundness of the policies that affect its implementation. SCHIP should be a program that helps to mainstream children in working families into private health care coverage, not one that supplants private coverage.
