	The State Children's Health Insurance Program
		States will have a choice of expanding their existing Medicaid program, creating new state health insurance programs or expanding existing programs in states where they already exist, or a combination.
		To avoid siphoning off children who already are insured or could be insured through other means, states cannot use the federal funds to cover children who are eligible for Medicaid or other insurance coverage or whose parents are state employees with access to coverage under a state health benefits plan.
		PA state chapters are encouraged to monitor development of state programs and to work with state program developers to make sure that PAs are included as providers under state designed programs.

	States trying to sustain kids' health insurance
		The issue of uninsured children is of such importance to states struggling to maintain youngsters' health benefits while recovering from record deficits that Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D), chairman of the National Governors Association, attended the news conference.
		However, the overall increase in enrollment in public health programs is offset by a steep drop in the number of kids signed-up for SCHIP in several states during the last six months of 2003, according to a recent report by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured.
		"States, along with the federal government, have a responsibility to ensure that dollars spent through SCHIP are targeted to families in the most financial need, that the program does not become a substitute for private sector insurance and that the program is managed responsibly," said Gina Hollenbeck, of Wohlgemuth's campaign.

	OMB Estimates Indicate That 900,000 Children Will Lose Health Insurance Due to Reductions in Federal SCHIP Funding, ...
		Even as states face funding shortfalls, a total of $2.7 billion of the unspent federal SCHIP funds are scheduled to expire and revert to the Treasury at the end of either fiscal year 2002 or fiscal year 2003.
		States consequently are greatly in need of the estimated $2.7 billion in federal SCHIP funds that were scheduled to expire and revert to the Treasury at the end of fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003.
		Due to greater-than-expected SCHIP expenditures in certain states in fiscal year 2002, likely as a result of the economic downturn, and new data on the sequence in which states access their federal funds, the amount of unexpended funds scheduled to revert to the Treasury is now expected to be somewhat smaller under our estimates.

		The extent to which persons enrolling in new public insurance programs substitute the public coverage for private insurance is of concern to policy makers.
		To look at the extent of the substitution resulting from new state programs that cover a broad base of the low-income population and to look at the responses of both families and employers.
		The expansion of public insurance has a bigger effect on employer offer decisions when a large share of its workers is eligible for public programs.

		States will also get a one-year reprieve via H.R. 2206 from compliance with a new final Medicaid regulation that would curtail use of intergovernmental transfers.

	THE STATE CHILDRENS HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM, MARK MCCLELLAN, M.D., PH.D., ADMINISTRATOR, CMS
		Another way that SCHIP ensures that only appropriate individuals gain access to the program is through the requirement that a State make sure that low-income individuals are not substituting SCHIP coverage for private, employer-sponsored coverage they previously had.
		Under the demonstrations, States are not permitted to limit or cap children’s enrollment, and are required to prioritize the availability of funds for children over funding adult expansion populations.
		This history illustrates that in the beginning of the SCHIP program States were still building their programs and some had unexpended funds available for redistribution.

		For these reasons, many states have expanded Medicaid and SCHIP coverage to parents as well as children and found that uninsured rates for eligible children are far lower than in states that have not expanded coverage to parents.
		If parents have health coverage, their children are far more likely to have access to health services compared to insured children of uninsured parents.
		Families are better off when parents work, and when parents have health insurance – but families are harmed when parents lose their health care coverage and join the ranks of the nearly 46 million Americans without health insurance.
