Abstract:
In this report, Families USA estimates how much new funding New Hampshire could receive for Healthy Kids (New Hampshire's SCHIP program and Medicaid program for children) if SCHIP is reauthorized with the full $50 billion in new federal funds. We also examine the effect this new money will have on New Hampshire's economy, measured in increased business activity, jobs, and wages. We found that, for a whole host of economic reasons, fully funding SCHIP in accordance with the budget resolution will be good for New Hampshire.
