Federal funding for 9 million low- and middle-income children is set to expire at the end of September, setting up a crucial deadline for a Congress already grappling with other high-stakes battles.

A popular federal-state program that provides health coverage to millions of children in lower- and middle-class families is up for renewal Sept. 30.

The Oregonian
Oregon lawmakers held the first and only public hearing Tuesday on the exact words they want put before voters deciding whether to overturn much of a $550 million healthcare tax. Back in June, lawmakers passed the package of hospital and health insurance taxes to close a hole in the state's Medicaid budget. Since then, three Republicans from the Oregon House launched an effort to refer much of the law to voters. They want voters to reject a new 1.5 percent tax on health insurance premiums and an increase in taxes on certain hospitals' revenues.
