Higgardy C_linton was involved in Setting up a new Health System from the beginning of her husbands presidency.

It was calles S-Chip, what a name. Did they start chipping people by then?

Covered Benefits

Separate CHIP programs can model their benefits based on specific private insurance plans, a package equivalent to one of those benchmarks, or Secretary-approved coverage. Federal rules require that all separate CHIP programs cover dental services, well-baby and well-child care (including age-appropriate immunizations), and emergency services.

The "State Children's Health Insurance Program" (S-CHIP) is providing financial grants ("matching funds") to the individual states to the tune of approx. 20 billion US dollars, initially for the introductory phase from 1998 to 2002. These grants are designed to enable states to insure children and young people from families with incomes up to 200 percent of the official poverty line under Medicaid or new programs.

Die beiden C_lintons wollten Partner an der Macht sein. Und tatsächlich trat H_illary bald wie eine Superministerin auf. Die Reform des Gesundheitswesens lag ganz in ihren Händen. Das Scheitern dieses Vorhabens war die schwerste politische Niederlage - für beide.

The two C_lintons wanted to be partners in power. And indeed, Hillary soon began acting like a super secretary of state. Health care reform was entirely in her hands. The failure of this plan was the most serious political defeat for both of them.
