This paper describes four alternatives for expanding childhood insurance coverage, discusses key health policy issues, and assesses the political possibilities for enacting universal coverage. Alternatives are (1) a single federal child health program for all children; (2) a hybrid federal child health program (replacing Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program [SCHIP]), combined with employer coverage; (3) a new federal wraparound program for the uninsured (that keeps the existing Medicaid program); and (4) expansion of SCHIP. Key policy issues include the type of universal coverage, use of competing commercial health plans, financing, employer and individual mandates, and the definition of benefits.
