During a speech to newspaper editors in Washington, DC, Hillary Clinton laid out plans for her first 100 days in office. Among them:

Clinton said she would start with bills that Bush had vetoed, including measures to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program and the use of embryonic stem cells for research.

This is no surprise, but it is probably an indication that a Clinton Administration would be more receptive towards state efforts to expand SCHIP. Although lax in earlier years, the Bush Administration has lately pushed states away from including adults in their children's health insurance programs and tried to focus states on covering the poorest children. It is unlikely that this direction would be continued under Clinton.
