Third. no Federal SCHIP funds for adults other than pregnant women beginning in 2009. We should give the States a year to transition their lowincome adults to Medicaid. which is where they belong. and stop taking away limited resources from needy children and giving them to childless adults. Fourth. keep the existing Federal requirement that States actually document the citizenship and identity of all of the applicants for Medicaid and clearly state in the bill that illegal immigrants are prohibited from receiving Medicaid or SCHIP benefits. Being able to write down a Social Security number doesnt actually prove youre a United States citizen. Federal benefits should not go to illegal immigrants. Fifth. no millionaires in SCHIP. We should simply put a $1 million net asset cap on eligibility for Federal SCHIP funds.
