In an effort to cut access to children’s health care opportunities, the Bush administration has released statements saying that it would not support efforts to expand the government subsidized State Children’s Health Insurance Program which offers coverage for children of low income families. Furthermore, the President has stated he would veto the bill, which was passed by both houses of Congress.
Starting in 1997, SCHIP was created to help insure children whose families earned too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private insurance.
In order to qualify for the program, a family must make less than 200 percent over the poverty line, which currently is around 50,000 income for an entire family of four.
