Offered
by
To urge the United States Congress to reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) for the State of Michigan. Note: This has become a controversial issue because the Medicaid add-on program intended to provide health coverage to the children of the "working poor" is increasingly being used to pay health expenses of adults who are above the poverty line, and the proposed renewal would potentially greatly expand such practices.
