I support H.R. 2, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009. We have children in New Hampshire and in America who need us to fight for them. Unemployment is rising. Even working families are losing their health insurance. Providing more money now will give 4 million more children health insurance. This is a moral issue. We are the only nation in the world that does not provide health care to all of its children. This is simply unconscionable. I am proud to support this legislation to help New Hampshire's children and America's children.
