This vote was on an amendment by Jim DeMint, R-S.C., that would have created a tax deduction of up to $1,500 per year per child for qualified health care costs. The amendment would not allow a deduction if the child is eligible for federally-assisted health care. The amendment was offered to a bill that expands and reauthorizes the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), which offers health insurance for children of families who are too poor to purchase private health insurance, but not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. |
