Back to Expand eligibility for State Children's Health Insurance Fund (SCHIP)

House passes SCHIP

Even before Obama took office, the House of Representatives approved an expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). It passed, 289-139, on Jan. 14, 2009.

Obama praised the vote and said he wants SCHIP to be "one of the first measures I sign into law when I am president."

If it passes the Senate, he'll get his wish. We rate this promise In the Works.
