The House of Representatives has passed a bill permitting a large number of legal immigrant children to obtain coverage through the Children’s Health Insurance Program. The Senate approved the “Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act” (SCHIP), a bill that will provide more health insurance opportunities for approximately 4,000,000 children in the U.S., including legal immigrant children and pregnant women in the scope of its coverage.
