The State Children's Health Insurance Program is underway after Barack Obama signed the bill. (SCHIP Bill)
This popular health insurance program is put in place to aide low-income children. Obama says this is the first step into healthcare reform. "This is a down payment on my commitment to cover every single American." says Barack. This will now cover about 4.1 million children that aren't covered. This program has already been going on, the bill simply extends it.
So as in first step... you should note that this step has already been taken before. Lets see some new steps in healthcare! I'm not an expert in politics or health insurance, but there is plenty of work to be done. Lets not get ahead of ourselves Obama. The public isn't stupid.
Regardless, this is good news, and does show that he has done something among other things right so far.
