We so appreciate that, Mr. Chairman. My concern is that you know some of these families. When you write a bill like that, you meet a lot of these families who benefit--209,000 in my State alone. Some of the parents of those kids, if we don't move on CHIP in the next week or so, are going to get letters in the mail that read, ``Sorry, your child's health insurance is going to expire,'' while we are sitting here, dressed pretty well. I know you said that you grew up with the poor people, is how you said it the other night, but I worry about these families, and these are families with jobs. You know that about CHIP. These are families who make $8 and $10 and $12 an hour, who don't have insurance, and they are going to get letters, reading: Your insurance is canceled. How can we let that happen, Mr. Chairman?
