Santa Monica, CA, June 28, 2012 -- "America’s children won today," declared Wendy Lazarus, Founder and Co-Presdient of The Children's Partnership. "By upholding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Supreme Court has sided with making health coverage a reality for children across the United States. Nearly all of the nation’s 75 million children have already benefited or will soon benefit from the ACA. As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, millions of parents will continue to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their children can get health services when they need them. Now, as we put this historic decision behind us, we will work with public and private sector leaders to implement the ACA effectively so it meets its potential to give kids a healthy start in life."

This paper provides recommendations to the California Health Benefit Exchange Board (HBEX) as it proceeds with the implementation of the SHOP program for small employers. These recommendations are aimed at ensuring that families covered through SHOP have access to and understand the best affordable care available for children. As a participant of the CA HBEX Board's Stakeholder SHOP Work Group, The Children's Partnership sees the SHOP as a critical piece of the children's coverage matrix and has identified key issues around incorporating the SHOP Program into the IT system design. Further, SHOP is critical to ensuring that all possible avenues of providing health coverage for children are maximized.
