In 1997, Congress passed legislation creating the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), the first major federally funded health program to be established since Medicare and Medicaid were enacted in 1965.

Case study respondents interviewed in the case studies included state officials, advocates, plan staff, and providers.
