Dueling proposals for kids' health insurance; lawmakers seeking plan everyone can live with

Article Abstract:

Senate and House conferees have been negotiating the differences in health insurance plans for children in the US. Critics believe the House insurance plan is structured too loosely and is underfunded at $16 bil over a period of five years. An extra $8 bil is provided for in the Senate proposal, with funding from cigarette taxes, which is favored by the Children's Defense Fund and other children's advocates.
