Children's health insurance program: opportunity to expand care
Caring.
1999 Feb.
Abstract
Late in the summer of 1997, President Clinton signed the Children's Health Insurance Program into law. The program follows the example of many states that have expanded health coverage for uninsured children through Medicaid or other state programs. Through combining funds, federal and state governments seek to provide for all of the children in America who currently have insufficient health coverage.
