Senator Holmgren (sponsor) presented the children’s coverage proposal, calling it “a very, very beneficial program,” and outlined that it targets uninsured children not eligible for Medicaid or employer coverage; he said the Health Department was selected after an RFP and committee deliberation and defended the $64 (per-child?) targeting language as a way to broaden enrollment. He invited questions and signaled willingness to go to third reading.
