During the financial crisis it became clear that these developments were also accompanied by a lack of risk awareness, conflicts of interest along the securitisation chain, excessive confidence in the risk models of the ratings agencies and a lack of transparency concerning the quality of the underlying collateral and the business structures. The banks’ access to the capital market, especially with securitisations, is still impeded globally; many banks can largely only obtain funding via the central banks, via short-term repo activities or by issuing Pfandbriefe.

SCHIP’s success is contingent on children remaining insured. SCHIP has not, however, served as a bridge to private insurance coverage for children in the short term. Few low-income children have access to affordable private insurance. The vast majority of SCHIP enrollees remained insured because they continued to participate in public insurance. At followup, nearly 80 percent of SCHIP enrollees were enrolled in Medicaid or SCHIP. Some SCHIP enrollees, however, became uninsured.
