The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) offers federal matching funds for states and territories to provide health insurance to uninsured, low-income children in families whose annual incomes are too high to qualify for Medicaid. Ewing presents a collection of eight excerpts from reports of recent Congressional activity related to SCHIP. The reports were prepared by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress between 2006 and 2007. Neither Ewing's credentials nor criteria used in the selection of the materials for inclusion in the text are stated, and there is neither discussion nor summarization of the material by the editor. However, the text does assemble excerpts of several source documents in one publication for readers working in fields concerned with child health insurance provisions.
