Letter to the Honorable John D. Dingell [i] (October 2007)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo9319 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGT OFFICE Peter R. Orszag,I U .S. Congress ashington, DC 20515 October 18, 2007 Honorable John D. Dingell Chairman Committee on Energy and Commerce U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: In response to questions that we have been asked about the enclosed enrollment table that CBO circulated yesterday regarding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), two points are worth noting. First, as indicated in footnote 2 of the table, the enrollment figures are for SCHIP only. The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) would also raise enrollment in Medicaid by 1.3 million in 2012 relative to the baseline. Second, as indicated in footnote 6 of the enclosed table, CHIPRA authorizes SCHIP only through 2012, and the figures for 2017 are therefore based on an extrapolation of CHIPRA beyond the legislation's authorization window. Under that extrapolation of CHIPRA through 2017, SCHIP and Medicaid enrollment combined would rise relative to the baseline. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Keith Fontenot at 226-2800. Sincerely, Peter R. Orszag Enclosure cc: Honorable Joe Barton Ranking Member
