DES MOINES (AP) - Gov. Chet Culver has signed into law a package that spends $25 million over the next three years to extend health coverage to 50,000 uninsured children.

Culver said Iowa may be the first state in the nation to insure all children.

The governor signed the bill Tuesday at a Des Moines health care clinic, where more than half the patients don't have health insurance.

Culver also signed a spending bill that supports health and human service programs.
