This vote was on an amendment by John Kerry, D-Mass., that would increase funding for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) by $15 billion, for a total of $75.2 billion over five years. The amendment would use the extra money to pay states bonuses for enrolling more children in the program, and to raise the cutoff date for enrollment to 21. Kerry’s amendment would pay for all of this by raising taxes on people whose taxable incomes exceed $1 million. |
