House Democrats Set For Vote on New Version Of Children’s Health Bill – The new version will underscore that illegal immigrants will not have access to the expanded program
Tagged: children, family, insurance, RSSPosted on: October 25th, 2007“Just one week after failing to override President Bush’s veto, House Democrats will put a new version of their $35 billion expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program to a vote today, hoping that minor changes will win enough Republicans to beat Bush this round.
The new version will underscore that illegal immigrants will not have access to the expanded program. It will ease adults off the program in one year, rather than the two in the vetoed version. And it establishes a firmer eligibility cap at 300 percent of the federal poverty line, just more than $60,000 for a family of four.”*
