This vote was on an amendment by John Thune, R-S.D., that would stipulate that families that are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) may not be eligible for health coverage under the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The amendment was offered to a bill that would reauthorize SCHIP and expand the program’s funding by about $35 billion over the life of the bill. To offset the cost of expansion, the bill would increase the federal tax on cigarettes by 61 cents, to $1 per pack. |
