“I have 30 seconds to explain why H.R. 2, the State Children's Health Insurance Program, means everything to a school nurse. And I'll just tell you, I can see the faces of the children I cared for as best as I could who would have benefited so dramatically from this program. And I'll tell you what this feels like now, as so many moms and dads are losing their jobs and need this program even more. And my State, California, is cutting even the children who presently are served so dramatically. And give States the option of covering pregnant women. That is the greatest thing we can do for the health of a child is to cover the mom.”
