Abstract:
While the process of reforming the nation's health care system will likely be a long and difficult one, we can soon make an important downpayment on reform. In reauthorizing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), Congress could encourage states to ensure universal coverage for children--a change that could serve as the foundation for more comprehensive health system reforms later on.
