The proceeds will help fund expansion of the federal State Children's Health Insurance program. This program provides federal matching funds to states to assist them in providing health insurance to families and children. The SCHIP program is targeted at families with modest incomes above Medicaid eligibility limits. Of course what the federal government gives with one hand it takes with the other. A $6.3 billion increase in the federal cigarette excise will reduce the disposable incomes of residents in the states. Table 1 shows that this reduction ranges from $581 million in California to $10.8 million in the District of Columbia.
