Summary:

As part of his FY1999 budget, President Clinton proposes giving states additional funds to find and cover uninsured children by expanding Medicaid outreach funds and making it easier to grant immediate coverage to children who have not yet enrolled. The budget also proposes to streamline the Medicaid application process by simplifying eligibility; to allow states to provide Medicaid coverage to legal immigrant children; and to reduce the federal share of state administrative costs.
