Children, the main character in the Insurance Act
The debate on children, health coverage has become the protagonist in the context of federal reform has focused on how to treat children, becoming the star of the health insurance program (CHIP). In February, Congress reauthorized CHIP in 2013. The law, enacted a decade ago, has expanded access to health insurance for millions of children from low and middle income countries without access to other coverage.
The Senate bill under consideration extends from CHIP in 2019, when funding for the past five years is not included. Under the House bill, less than 150 percent of federal poverty level (FPL) will go on Medicaid, which includes a series of protections for children. However, children in more than 150 percent of FPL are transferred in the exchange, where people have no access to affordable coverage through an employer may hire a medical insurance. My biggest concern is that the stock can not contain the same protection for Medicaid, and families pay more than is currently the chip.
Because of the particularity of national legislation is at issue in Maryland, becoming a protagonist of children is not as high. When the chip was first formed, Maryland decided to expand Medicaid instead of creating an independent system. Thus, children in the children of Maryland, is the star of health all have the same protection as Medicaid. Maryland and other states were called for expansion of Medicaid, the law requires that children take home in CHIP Medicaid, and moved to the stock.
advocates for children and youth, in collaboration with sister organizations around the country and national partners that focus first and voices calling for Maryland to become leader of the federal delegation to get a solid benefits package and protection coverage for all children enrolled in Medicaid, the chip or exchange.
