Congress?—To End or Not To End
A Congressional compromise may be in the works for the Family Opportunity Act, which would let parents of children with disabilities to buy into the Medicaid health insurance program, even when their incomes exceed eligibility limits. There is also legislation pending that would give states some fiscal support and protect State Children's Health Iinsurance Program and Medicaid funding during financial crises. The National Health Law Program is tracking these and other bills.
