The reiteration of SCHIP (state childrens' health insurance plan bill) is about to be voted on by the U.S. Senate. This is a slightly revised version of the bill that received a presidential veto a short time ago.
The Democratic majority has tweaked it a bit in hopes that enough Republicans will be moved to help override the next veto that is expected from the President.
It would be largely financed using a federal tobacco tax increase.
A college student has an interesting take on this bill. Watch this.
