A Brief History of Children’s Health Insurance Expansions
In 1965, Medicaid program enacted as part of the Social Security Act coverage of children initially limited to those in families
participating in welfare and those who were disabled In late 1980’s, Medicaid was expanded to “poverty
related” infants and children through a series of legislation with these expansions Medicaid was de-linked from welfare
In 1997, SCHIP authorized as part of the Balanced Budget Act allowed states to extend public health insurance coverage to
uninsured children not eligible for Medicaid as of June 1997

But State Issues Exist as Well
When states enroll children they face higher costs Economic downturns Overall resource capacity
Many states face federal shortfalls under SCHIP currently or in the future
These issues make some states reluctant to implement and maintain effective enrollment strategies

How Do We Get to the Finish Line?
Fully fund SCHIP to maintain success of program 24 states estimated to face shortfalls by 2008 36 states estimated to face shortfalls by 2012 Estimated that 1.6 million children would loose coverage
Increase funding under SCHIP to allow states to cover eligible but uninsured
Identify and implement strategies designed to enroll more children in Medicaid and SCHIP
Expand eligibility to ineligible populations

We are at a crossroads in children’s coverage !
SCHIP and, its partner, Medicaid, have together worked to significantly lower the number and percent of uninsured children.
We should fully fund the SCHIP program to continue this progress and move forward in finding ways to ensure that all uninsured children secure coverage that assures high quality access to care.
