Secretary Of Health And Human Services Supports Children's Health Insurance Reauthorization

Children's Health Insurance Program

Mike Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services supports reauthorization of State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

We do not support a massive expansion of government-run health care and higher taxes, as the Senate Finance Committee bill proposes.

This bill spends too much money with too little actual gain in insurance coverage for children -- almost one half of whom already have private insurance.
