Innovative State Strategies to Insure Children

Information in this website was collected prior to the passage of Title XXI of the Social Security Act, or the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). During the summer of 1997, nine states were interviewed that had already developed children’s health insurance programs to cover uninsured children. This database includes qualitative information collected from program, Medicaid, and maternal and child health directors of the following states: California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington.

This website is a work in progress but will not be updated.
