This vote was on an amendment by Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., that would allow families more ways to consent to expedited applications for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The amendment would expand current practice to include in writing, over the phone, orally, through electronic signatures, or any other means determined appropriate by the government. This program is known as “Express Lane.” The amendment was offered to a bill that expands and reauthorizes the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (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. |
