There will be no Clinton style plan, but S-CHIP would take just a little money to make huge difference. Children are very easy to insure as their health care costs generally pale in comparison to the population 40+. By doing so, in 35 years or so, those 40+ won't need health care nearly as much as they do now.

The overwhelming majority of congress voted for this, but chimpy boy vetoed it. It failed to override narrowly.

If congress is substantially unchanged after November, the difference between President Obama or McCain will be the diffence between America's children having decent health care as a whole, or not. The current count stands at 9 million uninsured children.
