| Max Baucus says expanding the Children's Health Insurance Program is his number one health care priority for the Senate Finance Committee this year.
Chairman Baucus launched his effort to renew the program that provides health care to more than 13,000 Montana kids during a committee hearing Thursday, saying he not only wants to renew CHIP but also expand it to cover more kids as well.
Congress probably will take its time in considering President Bush's plan for expanding health insurance coverage. Lawmakers, however, are moving more quickly to renew a program that now provides coverage to 6 million people, mostly children.
The State Children's Health Insurance Program expires Sept. 30. Democrats and Republicans say they want to swiftly reauthorize the program.
"There is no greater priority for the Finance Committee in the health arena this year," said Sen. Max Baucus, the committee's new chairman. "It's No. 1."
