The recent passage and veto of the expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program has sparked a needed debate over the future of healthcare: will we as a nation embrace a consumer-centered, market-driven health system or a bureaucratic, Washington-run approach? Join us as we explore the role of SCHIP, how the debate in Washington is a precursor to the larger debate on health reform, and what the presidential candidates are saying about SCHIP and covering the uninsured.
