Orrin Hatch actually said...

CHIP has helped children whose families have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but too low to afford private health insurance.

We greatly appreciate the joint statement by Chairman Hatch and Ranking Member Wyden, released on the 20th anniversary of the program.

I ask you to extend funding for CHIP with the enhanced match rate for the next 5 years.
