"The last thing that single mom needs is a government letter stamped 'notice of termination' explaining that her sick kids are on their own because CHIP funding has run out."

"I hope at some point you are able to consider the recommendation of MACPAC and other organizations of reauthorizing and funding the program for at least 5 years."

"With all of the very difficult and complex decisions you have to make about health care in America, surely whether or not to extend CHIP is not one of the hard ones."

"I mean, obviously, we are going to have to have discussions back and forth on that, but that is my objective. That is our objective here."
