Summary
The Covering Kids Act of 2005 (H.R. 3050) was designed to increase the number of children enrolled in government-sponsored health insurance programs. The bill proposed awarding federal grants to organizations for outreach campaigns aimed at educating families about the importance of prenatal care and helping them enroll eligible children in the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Additionally, it sought to give states the option to simplify the financial eligibility process, making it easier for families to apply for and receive medical assistance through Medicaid and SCHIP.
