Orrin Hatch actually said...

"Let's do the hard work now, colleagues, and uphold this body's promise to America's kids and their families."

"If Congress doesn't act to provide additional Federal funding, a number of children who would likely be eligible for CHIP will go uninsured once Federal funding is exhausted."

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been impacted over the past few days by Hurricane Irma."

"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."
