This vote was on an amendment by Pat Roberts, R-Kan., that would have prohibited states from covering children under the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) if their gross family incomes are above $65,000 or at the median state income, whichever is lower. It also would have prohibited states from covering children under Medicaid if their family income is at a level above the income eligibility for SCHIP. The amendment was offered to a bill that expands and reauthorizes SCHIP, which offers health insurance for children of families who are too poor to purchase private health insurance, but not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. |
