"SCHIP Turns Five: Taking Stock, Moving Ahead"
This issue brief notes the five-year anniversary of the effective
date of Title XXI of the Social Security Act, the State Children’s Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP). It looks at the successes of the program, as well as some of the obstacles SCHIP will face as it attempts to maintain its effectiveness in providing health coverage to
uninsured children and families.

"OMB Estimates Indicate That 900,000 Children Will Lose Health Insurance Due to Reductions in Federal SCHIP Funding"
Due to a 26 percent reduction in federal SCHIP funding in 2002 and over the next two years, coupled with rising SCHIP enrollments and hence rising SCHIP expenditures, a number of states will face significant SCHIP funding shortfalls over the next several years and be unable to sustain their SCHIP enrollments. As a result, OMB projects a national SCHIP enrollment decline of 900,000 children between 2003 and 2006.
