Ron Wyden actually said...

"CHIP has reduced the number of uninsured children by more than 50% while improving health outcomes and access to care."

"We thank Chairman Hatch and Ranking Member Wyden for working together, in a bipartisan fashion, on legislation to ensure the continuation of CHIP funding for the long term."

"I want to leave this hearing saying that I think we all understand--and you did not mean it that way, of course--that kids deserve the very best."

"The Congress created CHIP with one goal in mind: that was to make sure that no American child falls through the cracks of our health-care system."
