With the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) before Congress and a renewed interest in expanding coverage across the country, the Foundation's Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured held a policy briefing on state coverage trends for children and families. Several new resources were released in conjunction with the event, which featured a keynote address from Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell.
