Senate Reauthorizes SCHIP to 2009

In a bill that has not yet been passed by the House or signed by the President, the United States Senate yesterday reauthorized the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) through March 2009. The Senate-passed bill, S. 2499, also extends and makes changes in other federal health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Among other things, the bill would delay implementation of recently released regulations limiting Medicaid reimbursements to schools. The full text of S. 2499 and information about action on the legislation in the House will be available at http://thomas.loc.gov.
