As President-elect Obama and the 111th US Congress assume leadership, we hope that they will work together to put children's health issues, and in particular, health insurance for children, on the national agenda. The new leadership will likely address 2 critical policy options related to child health insurance: reauthorization and potential expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and expansion of health insurance to all children. We hope that policy makers keep in mind the substantial body of scientific evidence about SCHIP and child health insurance.
