SCHIP

Expect a stormy day in the House of Representatives today. After a heavy workload of debate and postponed votes on suspension bills, the House will consider the State Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007. President Bush has already threatened to veto this measure which, amongst other things, will increase tax on cigarettes to raise funds to provide health insurance for children.
