CHAMP. was better for children. It invested $50 billion into the program and covered more than a million children. CHAMP also allowed States to use Federal funds to appropriately expand coverage to legal immigrant children and corrected a misguided regulation issued by the Bush administration on citizenship documentation that forced thousands of American children to lose their health coverage through Medicaid. However. not only was the CHAMP Act better for children. it also provided overdue and much needed improvements to senior citizens and people with disabilities on Medicare. In the House. we combined children with seniors and created a bill that improved the health of our youngest and most needy and our oldest.
