Ohio wants to provide health insurance coverage to children in families with incomes up to 250% of the federal poverty threshold beginning April 1. Eligibility for Ohio Schip program is currently capped at 200%
State officials believe the expansion is attracting more children in the 8168 programme of health insurance this year and more than 10750 in 2009.
The request follows the Bush administration has rejected the request of Ohio to increase eligibility to 300% of the federal poverty line.
Ohio provides health insurance coverage for about 1 million children under the Medicaid system. An estimated 77000 children lack coverage of health care.
