Ask the Experts Live Webcast: The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorized: What's Next?
Thursday, February 12 at 2 p.m. ET

With President Obama signing the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 into law yesterday, the future of children's coverage enters a new era. Join kaisernetwork.org's Ask the Experts on Thursday, February 12 at 2 p.m. ET, for a live webcast addressing the next steps in children's coverage.

During the webcast, the panel of experts will address such questions as: What is included in the new legislation? What impact will the new legislation have on coverage of uninsured children? What new tools will states have to reach and enroll uninsured children in Medicaid and CHIP? How will new funding affect state efforts to move forward? How will the deepening recession affect these efforts? What does reauthorization mean for broader health reform?
