H.R. 3162
Children's Health and Medicare Protection
(CHAMP) Act of 2007
Introduced by Rep. John D. Dingell on July 25, 2007
The CHAMP Act – the Children’s Health and Medicare Protection Act – reauthorizes and improves the existing Children’s Health Insurance Program. This program, created with bipartisan support by this Committee in 1997, has cut the low-income uninsured rate by one-third. Some States have been able to insure as many as 60 percent of their children who previously had no health insurance.
