The Census Bureau estimates there were about 9 million children who sometime during 2006 did not have health insurance.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that about 3.8 million of those uninsured children would get government coverage under the bill. It also estimates that about 2 million children now covered by private insurance would switch to SCHIP.
